Source code of a large monolithic projects(Products) lacks value due not being adaptable or modular, but it has worth that can be decomposed and refactored into other software(libraries/packages/headers/functions).
I'll speak for all the ten-year vets who know stripping a monolith for parts is often as time-consuming as writing from scratch, and always uglier. Software is not a car.
