I worked at a company in 1981 that had the source for MS BASIC, It
was written in 8080 asm and didn't have any fancy cross compilation
tricks, Maybe later though.
I would have kept a copy, but we used custom ( hard sector hole punch)
8" floppies to store our work.

That would be wonderful Al!
Weren't their BASIC interpreters written in some cpu-agnostic code that
then got tossed into another tool that output the code for the target cpu?
(I wish I could recall where I heard that...)

That's pretty neat! I'd love to see them release source to Word
5.1 for the Mac, which I still consider the high-water mark for
WYSIWYG word processors.
I'll add it to the wish list.
Hopefully we'll be able to get some of the earlier software released, in
particular Microsoft BASIC
and the other products for the 8080/Z80
