Yes..? Why would that render it useless? I don't see how vanguard would be any less effective by publishing the source code.

Anti cheats in general rely on tons of factors but mainly a lack of knowledge on exactly how HWID bans are enacted, what injections by what processes are put under scrutiny, etc. With source available, all of that stuff is going to be a cake walk for cheaters to bypass. It’s not just a matter of “here’s the source but we are running as ring -n so it doesn’t matter”. full knowledge of AC behavior is a huge boon to bypassing, because there’s almost certainly problems with the implementation that a 15 year old will go on to discover and exploit.
