I’m sure that’s a big consideration, but they really could just dump whatever code they own the rights to, in whatever state it’s in, and people would be thrilled.
Although, now that I write that out, I bet determining the code they have rights to is, sadly, more work than they’re willing to put in.
Edit: also, if some of the code is used elsewhere in current games, this could inadvertently reveal security bugs in them.
