>Studies suggest that about 9.5 >percent of all open source code >is abandoned, This does not seem reasonable to me. I would think the number of abandoned open source projects to be closer to 70% or higher. Even projects that have reached popularity. So many times I have found references to libraries I wanted to use (C#/F# .Elixir). In the end I find a link to sourceforge or similar to find it has been abandoned-ware for a long time. Then we have the vast majority of open source code that never reached much of an audience and have been abandoned long ago. I am sure if one ran a query over all public GitHub, Gitlab, Bitbucket, SourceForge, Codeproject the vast majority are abandoned.
