What is the source code for a program? And why is it kept under secret, is it always part of the production version?

It’s basically the recipe and ingredients for the program. A compiler and a linker “bakes” the source code into a program that can be distributed.

If you have the source code itself, you can read it to find weak spots, or make changes and sell it.
