People often can't do this because they don't own all the rights to
their code. In a case which could be similar to TB's, a company had a
source license from one of its vendors and had copied some vendor
source into its own.

I've even seen a case where _noone_ had the rights to open up an old
program, even though noone actually minded doing so. There old
contracts that just didn't cover the possibility, and clearing up the
legal mess would cost more than anyone was willing to pay.
