Source code includes obfuscated source code and the results of running 
pre-processors, like flex and yacc.  The preferred form wording is 
intended to ensure that, for example, a parser is distributed as the 
yacc input file, not the resulting C "source code" file.

If it is at all vague, it is done that way to reduce the chances of 
people finding loopholes to allow the "source code" to be distributed, 
but in a way that makes it difficult or impossible for the recipient to 
produce non-trivial modifications.
