Comment on Isn't technically everything open-source?

Most compiled apps (exes) can technically be read, but only if you use a disassembler to convert the machine code into raw assembly.
However, this assembly has no:
- Comments
- Documentation
- Names
- Organization
- etc…
Only if you are extremely skilled at reading assembly can you read a compiled program.
