Know a good lawyer?

Your only other recourse is a VERY expensive source retrieval.  The only
company I know of is Source Retrieval (www.sourceretrieval.com), although
I've heard that ASC might have some capabilities as well.

Finally, if the observability has been removed, even source retrieval won't
work.  However, that brings up an interesting point.  You may still be able
to get at the source for ILE RPG programs.  Try using STRDBG on the programs
to see how much source was included in the compile.
