I A Archiver has been creating archived copies of websites for years, and it uses up lots of bandwidth doing it.

This HTTrack Website Copier may be able to create an archived version of a website, but it couldn't download the whole site because many of the files (those outside the root) would not be accessible to it to copy.

But if the software is Open Source then someone could indeed copy the design and apply it to the software. I could do that (if I wished) and so could any half-competent person.
