If they did that, modders could make all sorts of full conversion mods for Halo, and possibly bridge the gap between Halo PC and CE.

they might release the source code when there is no hope for making any more money off of halo. Also, even if they did release it, wouldn't it violate the part about reverse-engineering in the end-user license agreement?

Isn't there a bit in there like most of the other TOS... about a change of plans? like they're allowed to change the TOS or make acceptions as they please? Usually that's included in most EULAs.

No. The source code and the executable are different. You couldn't play the game with just the source code.

good point - no. However, it was released to help out the modding community. I dare say the most and most successful mods in gaming history were HL mods. You simply need a cd-key for the license to have the source.
