Also, once you finally get the zip file of source it will be a giant mess that doesn’t have build scripts, nor documentation, etc.

So you’ll win, but won’t get want you want- a way to view, understand, improve, and share.

Or you'll find its just a mess of hundreds of off-the-shelf components glued together, none of which the government has the source code for :(

So basically you're right - you'll get an unbuildable clusterfuck.
