    I think I sah a program that did that once. They talked about it in a Hak.5 episode I think, or maybe it was tekzilla.
    It was capable of making an estimation of what the program sauce could be. It was used in some competition to find hidden information in a program in order to solve a puzzle, thats all I know, but generally, as Paul McKenzie said, you cannot get the saucecode from a program, without the actual code being published, hence the term 'opensource'.

    Decompilers exist, but as Paul said, you can't turn applejuice back into apples. Decompilers are usually only able to turn compiled code back into unreadable c code which doesn't help.
