I don’t know (but wanna learn) programming, but, for example, can’t you inspect the code of an app if it’s installed?
(yeah this is kind of a stupid question.)
EDIT: Thanks for the clarification, guys!

The people who coined the term “open source software” disagree, though. They’re allowed to be right about the use of their own term.
(And extensionally, the set of software licenses accepted as “open source” by the “open source” people, and the set accepted as “free software” by the “free software” people, are the same set of licenses. Both agree that Microsoft “Shared Source” is not in this set, for example.)
I’ll take your word for it :)
But the same people who coined that term made some software “open source” but under licenses that only allow looking, not touching.
