DJ, you have to be very careful in this area. While the company may be defunct, the copyright, or in some cases patent, can still be operative on a piece of software. If they are operative, you are violating the law by passing a copy to someone else. While the company itself may not be around to detect and to prosecute such a violation, they can, at any point, sell the rights to the software, and the new owner may be willing to prosecute. Distinctly not a healthy idea, financially, doing such in a public arena, IMHO. The Four Seasons of Southern California: Fire, Flood, Earthquake, and Riot.
