Can’t I just read the files to see the code?

* No.
* The file you download is not the source code.
* Source code is like a recipe and the file you download is like the cake.
* Sure you can get a general idea of how the cake is made by looking at it and tasting it…but you won’t find the exact list of instructions of how to make it inside it somewhere.
