Not exactly. I can modify the source of the Windows source, compile it
and use the changes[1]. I can't modify the source of www.google.com,
compile it and use the changes, since I can't touch their server.
On the other hand, the fact that I have the source to the Linux kernel
doesn't let me enhance www.debian.org, either, so I'll drop this
particular argument.
[1] in theory; the Windows source isn't reputed as being the easiest to
modify or build
