The code assets are just as copyright encumbered as the art assets.

None of the original source code exists in these projects. It’s all created from scratch.

Copyright for this new code is owned by the person doing decompilation. No one knows how similar to the original it is or not, just that it compiles to the same output.

Edit to clarify: by not exist, I mean it is not publicly available.
