The answer is Yes and No
Yes - The sources exist
No - It's really no use anyway.
Even as backups of source code repositories exist, it still means it is fairly difficult to do anything useful, and fairly doubtful if any new development can be easily started.
The whole SW production machinery (building, testing, qc, packaging, signing,...) would have to be implemented really from scratch, without people who have done it before. It would be a fairly large task indeed.

I'm sure I've posted it before somewhere, but any system that relies on perpetual maintenance and management by experienced operators is indistinguishable from a time bomb. Not a criticism of Nokia or the people who developed all this code and the infrastructure to use it, just my somewhat pithy and lame observation of the state of how things fall apart given time and without proper care. Probably not even unique to computers and software, either. Cars, bridges, you name it.
ed: perhaps I mean "logic bomb" per wikipedia's definition, but I've always used the terms pretty much interchangeably.
