slight clarification

the people who died can't sue you, but their heirs can.

Yes, for anything with commercial value, if anything heirs are more likely to sue, and it's not safe to assume that they won't. Anyone out there who owns copyright in important FLOSS software, please include what you want to happen to that software on your death in your will. We've had a number of important contributor die recently, you aren't immortal.
