Ask HN: Open source an abandoned Mac app for mockups?

#1
Wondering whether to open source an old project I worked on, and abandoned... It's a native Mac app for building static mockups (iOS and web apps).

I doubt anyone would be interested, but thought it worth asking, see if anyone has any opinions.

This is an area where (I think) it can't hurt to make it free. Simply chuck a license header at the start of each file, put a readme which states "this has been abandoned, but I'll happily link to anyone who wants to make it alive again" and put the whole lot up somewhere (e.g. github).

My suggestion (because it's abandoned) is to use a permissive license.
