Looking at his tech stack (Visual Basic and a few components) i doubt that this is legal for him to release all the code required to rebuild.

Also he uses old proprietary development tools that need to be purchased before anyone can try to build i. It’s already very hard to compile old projects that were designed for open source from grounds up. But with this it’s almost impossible to find anyone who can do this and is interested in maintaining it.

Lets face it, everything is mortal, including software.
