You are legally right, but at the same time law, in this pariticular field, does not fit well with reality. A literary work can be worthy no matter how much time has gone, but a software 10 years old or more tends to become just unuseful. Some does not even works in current OS.
Besides, perhaps nothing is protected by law if nobody claims such protection. Law is activated only on request.

Just because something doesn't work with in your current operating system is not just cause for breaching the copyright, or if _you_ deem it to be un-useful.

Since the last time this conversation was discussed here, many people have emailed me asking for clarification on this or that application. My response every time was "If you have to ask, then you already know my answer."
