Who owns the rights to the program of the closed company?

The American company developed the software product and distributed it itself. The software product is distributed free of charge, but it has its own - "End User License Agreement". A few years later the company closed (possible bankruptcy). Who now owns the rights to this software, what should the OBEP say about the rights and what measures can be taken if we violate the EULA (for example, we make changes to the software)?

Software rights are no different from a stool, a computer, or a machine. Upon liquidation, they go to either creditors or founders. In general, there is no freebie.

You don’t need to say anything to the OBEP, they cannot decide on their own for others about, for example, violations of license agreements (if you are worried about this), there must be an injured party who writes a statement and the OBEP is already working on this statement.
If it is not there, then there is nothing to talk about with them (no one's rights are violated, there are no violations).

Buy the rights to the product from the owners of the company and calmly develop yourself.

you have some mutually exclusive questions.
You either look for the owners of the rights, or resolve the issue of violation of rights.
If you have already concluded an agreement for the transfer of a non-exclusive license, then the transfer of the exclusive right to the result of intellectual activity to a new copyright holder is not a basis for changing or terminating the license agreement concluded by the previous copyright holder.
Deal with the rest of the leftist yourself.
