If you look at the offer on the waybackmachine: http://web.archive.org/web/20060202181857/http://textdrive.c...
It has this Q&A item: How long is it good for? As long as we exist.
The footer states: a Joyent company
Nothing complicated, Joyent still exists. shrug

Yup, that's pretty cut and dry, and that's what I was looking for, so thanks. You guys that got hosed by this may have a breach of contract case if you'd like to take it that far.
Lifetime typically means expected life of the product (see: lifetime warranties). Death is really, really complicated, so I can't imagine anybody would actually tie their products to a consumer's death.
