Cool, but why's that all of a sudden?
Laundering their reputation by open sourcing defunct historical code
If that's the goal, probably a silly way to go about it. The people who care about FOSS won't forget about their reputation, and most of the people who don't care about their reputation don't know anything about FOSS.
