That not only applies to open source though. It is probably also the reason why the SQL server documentation I linked to earlier says the source is "obfuscated", and that people with sufficient rights still have access, and that you can get the unobfuscated version using a debugger; it is a stopgap (or deterrent), not a real solution.
