They only don't care because it's not economically worth their while to
care. If that situation changes they may decide to press charges. That has
happened to remakes of 8-bit games that were assumed to be abandonware when
the owners of the original copyrights realised that there was a new market
for the games on mobile phones. It is better to be sure now than risk
losing years of work down the line.
