I am curious about the case where a company or companies go out of business.
I assume (perhaps naievely) - boy is my spelling bad! - that the rights to
the software revert to the author.  Anyone know if that is true?  If not, to
whom?  If so, anyone know the author of software like Robot Wars or Visidex
(which I feel is a very nice quick index db which needs updating to ProDos)...
I suppose that there are hundreds of other such software which would be GREAT
to get the source into the public domain or at least published...
