This category includes computer software that is no longer maintained, like:
- Software that has been officially discontinued by the original developer and is not maintained by any other third party (like some kind of community)
- The company that used to maintain it went bankrupt or ceased to exist for a variety of reasons, and no other company is going to maintain it (even if it was not officially discontinued)
- Even if not (yet) officially "unmaintained" or "discontinued", software that has lots of serious unpatched bugs for a long time, especially if they are security vulnerabilities - open to debate which software to include based on this (Secunia might provide useful information regarding this)
- "Historical" software
- Abandonware
Software not to include in this category:
- Video games, because all video games would otherwise meet the definition above after a short period of time
