As near as I can tell, PCSetup 2.0 is a case of the original company being 
bought out, plus having a license from Apple. It's clearly being released 
for free by the company, not just being distributed by people without any 
connections.

In the case of a company's complete disappearance, I'm not sure who would 
initiate legal action, or what party would be the beneficiary.
