Then you're out of luck. Just like thousands (millions) of programmers
are out of luck when they want to examine the code of a closed source
proprietary software.

If I asked someone for Microsoft Word source code, because I want to
understand why my macro doesn't work, they would laugh in my face.  And
then bring up that situation as a joke for years. A credit to FSF
people: no one is laughing at you. Myself included, I tried to explain
the benefits of GPL, but if you don't want to listen that's fine.
