In this case it might be possible to find the heirs but generally I suspect that can be very difficult if not impossible. So for a small package I suspect that it is easier to give it a new implementation. But theoretically that will not solve the issue I guess since the new implementation would not really replace the old one so that would still be around. These are the tricky questions you wind up in when there is no license and I don't know the proper way out of it if there is any. I suspect at some distant time in the future an unmaintained package will break and will be removed for that reason. Yours Mats Footnotes: [1] This is my investigation about the author. The package is https://github.com/Raynes/refheap.el. When the authors email given at github did not work I search the net to find this article. https://www.facebook.com/lancepantz/posts/10104155686547809?pnref=story Which links to the memory page of Anthony Grimes. The github profile picture is there and the authors interest in clojure indicates a match.
