I don't believe that's the case here. However, the order given by the Judge in Michaud's case predates the classification of the source code. That gives the prosecutors three choices:
1) Produce the source code. They clearly don't want to do that.
2) Ask the judge to reconsider. While that seems sensible on the face of it, it's not without risk. It's pretty obvious that they've classified the code to prevent it being requested, and judges don't like it when you undermine their authority in such a blatant way.
3) Quietly drop the charges and back away. They can do this with Michaud without impacting other cases, because no other judge can order them to produce the source code.
