Just because something is tagged "freeware" doesn't mean people are given
automatic right to disassemble code. For the life of me, I've never
understood some people's reasoning that "oh, it's freeware, so I'll reverse
engineer it and make it better". Freeware means just that: free. Doesn't
mean "disassembleware".

Jeez.

You're right but there are (had been?) some resources available. I think
on "Super Flight Planner" and "NAV".
Well sharing the source could even make a product better (think on Linux
and Mozilla).
Well there is one aspect: There are probably no masses to admire the
author and a personalised work. ;-)
