Symantec's write-up has more details and comparison of Stuxnet and Duqu - http://www.symantec.com/content/en/us/enterprise/media/secur...

I've skimmed it. My point is that, if the source code of Stuxnet is available on the Internet, anyone could have created Duqu.

Try compiling it. You won't get far.

Current binary to C decompilers are not sufficient to reproduce and modify moderately complex software. They just make analysis easier, because it's more like reading pseudocode.
