Not being developed doesn't mean the software is unusable. It may have just reached the point where it's mature and meets the developer's needs, so it doesn't have to be developed anymore (has all the features necessary and no bugs).

But yes, as linimon has mentioned, if you use it, you should at least maintain it.
