When vendors release source code to older products which have minimal market share, and the codebase is large (say 1M+ LOC), does that do anyone any favors? It might be faster to re-implement from scratch than to get a development team trained on all that code - and you could architect for today's requirements, not yesterday's. Even the product's existing customers might feel they've just been told they're on their own.
