Chances are even if they wanted to, it'd be in terrible condition over the years and require a lot of maintainence and fiddling, which I can only assume Epic wouldn't want to distract themselves over.

I notice multiple people in this topic mentioning the source code and not getting it. Their arguments seem wrongheaded, since Mark Rein didn't say anything about the source code at all.
The people (including the topic starter) making the assumption that Rein's e-mail somehow said that he refused to give the source seem to be not reading the mail correctly.
The source code was not mentioned at all, and Rein talked about using characters copyrighted by Epic in homemade games and giving out JJ2 commercial content for free, something which is widely different from a release of the source code (which does not neccessarily involve giving away Epic's intellectual property for free).
