In theory, the government could say, 'Well, this company has clearly shown it's corrupt. ... So let's just nationalize their source code.'" Reardon Metal, source code, what's the difference?

Big Corporations do not go Galt. Only the little guys can do that. In the book there were corporate leaders who went Galt but this meant abandoning the corporation to the slagheap of government or destroying it on the way out.

Reardon Metal, source code, what's the difference? One's just greed, the other would be a remedy in an abuse of monopoly case where a company has used its power to distort the free market.
