15 year old software, like Windows XP and MS Office XP?
- kuschku 10y agoYes. Both are abandoned by microsoft — if they weren't protected anymore, people could add their own patches and fixes and distribute them.
- DaiPlusPlus 10y agoPeople already create and distribute patches for Windows releases: release binary diffs (e.g. "patcher" programs) - which has the added advantage of being much smaller and easier to distribute - and that doesn't even mean you need to violate copyright law anyway.
