Hi Richard, No it is not certainly black and white, but I do believe that it would be best if permission can be obtained before offering abandonware. Allot of times the licence agreement attached with the software will state what should be done with the software.It is also something that should be based on a case by case basis. To use STFC as my example here. Even though STFC 1.0/1.2 are freeware when I release 2.0 I will consider 1.x versions abandonware. Now, since I would be abandoning 1.x versions for 2.0 does that give users the right to pass 1.x versions around? Well, suppose for example I don't want 1.x versions to be passed around do to bugs, because I no longer support it, because I think they should upgrade, whatever. It is down to what the users want verses what I want as the developer.
