Abandonware
Abandonware is defined as any software that is:
- At least three years old (some say five or seven years)
- Not being sold or supported by the company that produced it or by any other company. When a certain piece of abandonware is later found to be sold or supported by a company (for instance in a re-release or a compilation), then it ceases to be abandonware.
