I mean if you have the entire source then you have everything to reproduce the program. Finding a malicious part does not only depend on the source but on the inspector, that is true.
But anyways having the entire code and not just the part that a company feels they may share is better anyways. Even if it's literally malware.
The free software community users depend on the community in order to detect malicious code. But at least there's a source code way of doing so.
