        Oh, for sure. Would be pretty good if there was an actual definition of what constitutes abandonware; say, if the game has been out of print for at least 2 years or whatever.

          Abandonware amounts to “the rights holder no longer exists or no one knows who owns the rights anymore” or, more clearly “no one is enforcing their rights to this game anymore for whatever reason, so it’s de facto public domain.”
