Depends. Look at sourceforge; plenty of vaporware.
and anyone is free to resume these projects, or use them as a base for
others - unlike proprietary vaporware, where there is just vapor.

There is also a difference between starting something and never finishing it, and marketting the s**t out of a product which simply doesn't exist. I don't think you can call having a project registered on SF as being marketting -- there's not nearly enough t-shirts.
