If a public software is very far off from working as advertised, effectively demonstrating bad faith, if its code is being hosted on a social hosting site, you can bet that I will complain about it to the site, and get everyone else to complain as well. If the software is no longer being developed and has been dead for years, then it's a different story, and the intent then is to move elsewhere. The license file is not an excuse using which to hide lies.
