"Uncompiled versions of the code

This is also nothing new. People have been coding procedural generation algorithms to produce products for a long time now. Most people who do this don't get even the 15 minutes of fame that this guy gets. The reason why he got his 15 minutes is because he's working for messagelabs. This undoubtedly gave messagelabs some nice publicity, and I imagine he was well paid for doing it.
