When does abandonware become freeware?
When does abandonware become freeware?Answer: The quick answer is never. Abandonware doesn t automatically become freeware after a certain period of time has elapsed, there is no expiration on copyrights. Abandonware can however, become freeware if the copyright holder releases it as such. Many companies have done this with retail games. Id Software has made source code for Quake, Doom and other classics available and Rockstar Games has released the original Grand Theft Auto as a free download.
