Well, JAWS won't be around forever. And it won't last for a while. Besides, NVDA is slowly attracting JAWS users, and sooner or later JAWS users will get smaller. In fact, I can see organizations, such as bookstores, etc use NVDA in the future.

That's what I assume, and so why I'm counselling caution about distributing Window-Eyes even though VFO claims that it will no longer be developed. Besides, being their product, they can do whatever they want with Window-Eyes in the future, even resurrect it, should they choose to do so.

Even if the company is gone, the copywright is still there. It is the same as a person writing a book. The book can be copywrighted for as long as someone wishes to keep it going. So, AI may have forwarded the copywright which would now fall on VFO to continue to maintain that, even though the product is no longer being distributed.
