yeah source code is the make up of the software

but finished software products are compiled into exe's and dll's, you can't see the source code

Every game has a "Engine" which controls everything in the game, basically it's the core programming that drives the game.

HL2's engine is called "Source", and it got stollen. They didn't steal HL2, just the engine, so you can't play HL2 if you happen to have the engine.

However what this means is that the people who have the engine can already start making cheats and trainers and hacks and loads of other shit for the game.
I don't think anyone would steal it to use it in their own game since the entire gaming community knows that the Source engine is by Valve
