Oh how do i WANT to get my hands on that Caesar III source code now. This game was so incredibly fantastic, it just needed some bug fixes. And if someone were to start developing DLCs for it (think Paradox), I'd be all over that…

To me, that would be the main reason to release old source code. Though I understand the legal stuff is hairy, and people don't generally do it for that reason.
