Good code would tend to separate out the data model and the interface from  
the "business logic"--whatever it is that drives the program's reason for  
existing. Certainly, I've used the same code with different back and front  
ends.

If the derived code were actually stolen (or reused) from an earlier  
incarnation, I'd probably expect it to be very damn close. (Who would want  
to mess with the logic while trying to uprgade the UI and DBMS?)
