Has anyone ever tried to get a company to release source code and open the license for an old abandoned project?
Here's two recently "abandoned" code bases that would be huge gains for OSS if we could get our hands on them:
Picasa 3 (Google, natch...) You can still download Picasa, but it's some obscure cloud drive link and seems dodgy, but it works.
and
Micro-Cap 12 (Spectrum software) Site has a download link. This is quality software.
How should I write them an email were I to do that? I don't know any of them personally, but enjoy using both programs.
