One of the biggest issues with old scripts are the rights to them. If they were not released as creative commons, gpl, MIT license, etc. People can not just re write them and publish them if they were not released that way. 

I'm still wondering. I mean..

If the original copyrights owner is dead and nobody legally acquired them, then it should be authorized to upgrade them to an environment in which it will never run, as that would means "no unfair competition".
Same for people's code still alive but that clearly refuse to port their gem to a new environment: protected against taking ownership under Python2 is clearly ok, but we are  in a new world: Python3

And I'm clearly thinking to a real upgrade, not just adapting the existing code. Especially that I now know that I will retire in a few months, I will have enough time to do this.
