Open Source means less original code?

/. has "No More Coding From Scratch?" where open source code [and all other code] are mined to be reused in projects and not much new code would be written.

I don't know about that: as long as technology changes, new code will have to be written esp. since translating from one language to another is non-trivial and even if it was possible, such code is rarely easy to maintain.
