There's few things I wouldn't give for the source code to the old Westwood games. Particularly Tiberian Sun/Red Alert 2
Word around the internet though is that EA lost the source code to all the pre-Generals (2004) C&C games

But the RA2: Yuri's Revenge binary was just patched where needed. This distinction was made because at the time YR already had some hardcore fans decompiling it and enhancing it, EA's community manager heard about this and made sure that community effort was not destroyed. I was one of those fans, and taking it apart was one hell of an adventure. We didn't decompile all of it, but we figured out many details, and added a lot of bugfixes and enhancements. It's not the same thing as the real source code, but you can see what we got in [1]/[2]/[3] (unfortunately those haven't been updated in a while).
