Surely there is value in code that can't be run. If I write a nodejs app that only runs on Google app engine, it still might be useful to someone else.

I think you underestimate the difficulty of open sourcing some projects.

At the last company I worked at, we really wanted to open source some of the stuff we were doing, but we literally couldn't because we depended on some private APIs and were under NDA.
