Yes - The sources exist
No - It's really no use anyway.
Even as backups of source code repositories exist, it still means it is fairly difficult to do anything useful, and fairly doubtful if any new development can be easily started.
The whole SW production machinery (building, testing, qc, packaging, signing,...) would have to be implemented really from scratch, without people who have done it before. It would be a fairly large task indeed.

ed: perhaps I mean "logic bomb" per wikipedia's definition, but I've always used the terms pretty much interchangeably.

Everything that is structurally more complex than a lump of rock needs constant maintanance to continue even existance, not to mention continue operation.
The more complex any system is, the more maintanance it needs. Take any living organism as an example; most of the structure there exists just to continuously repair itself.
