It would aid in reverse engineering. One team looks at the code and
develops a spec. The spec is handed off to a second team that code an
implementation. Without the original code, the first team has to
reverse engineer the spec by decompiling, tracing, sniffing, you get
the idea. Not easy, and never complete. Access to the original code
makes writing the spec much easier, faster, and more complete.
