I am out of the loop but it seems like a topic to once again promote my age old belief that:

The moment purchased or licensed software is no longer serviced or supported it must become open-source.

No exception. I am still waiting on the firmware to reprogram my smartish oven.

This reminds me of warzone 2100. After its publisher (punpkin) ceased trading, some dedicated ex-employees and community members managed to liberate the source code in 2004.

Now it's available in some of the major distros and is still updated to this day.
