Buildings are renovated and repurposed all the time; e.g., my office
is in an early-20th-century appartment building where running water
was not yet available in the appartments (if you look closely, you can
still see the places where the public taps were in the stairwell).
Now it has water etc. in the former appartments; it also has
electricity, multiple ethernet connections in every office, and WLAN.
It is now used as an office building instead of as an appartment
building, plus some lecture rooms on the ground floor. It used to
have a lift in the stairwell (you can still see the hinges of the
outer doors to the lift, but now has a lift a few meters further on
(no idea why).
I would be surprised if the proportion of software that is used >100
years after initial construction will be as high as for buildings;
but, ok, the software industry is still young. Maybe in a few hundred
years, we will have learned to make software that is as enduring as
buildings. Or maybe not; software is a good part of planned
obsolescence, so long-lived software is not in the interest of many in
the industry.
In any case, at least Chuck Moore always seemed to promote to rewrite
software from scratch instead of reusing it.
