No, they won't give it out. From what I recall, they are concerned that some people will get the source code and make their systems quickly return random invalid results, just so they can climb the ranks quickly. And they don't want to have to create code to sort through the mess.

I suppose their assumption is that not many people will go through the trouble of reverse-engineering to achieve this, but many might modifiy the source code if they made it that easy.

Ah, well.
