Yes.  The copyrights run out eventually, but it's a LONG time.  And
for the reason why, Rescue Raiders is a perfect example: it has been
redone and rereleased for the Mac, IBM, and possibly Amiga as Armor
Alley.   This has happened with other orpahaned Apple II games, the
Bilestoad and Stellar VII come to mind immediately.  Too bad it isn't
easy to figure out which ones the authors have pretty much given up on
totally.
