The logic is clear: Posting the source allows the enemy to find vulnerabilities in it, and exploit those. It does not, however allow your own people, or your friends to do the same thing.

Furthermore, this rises the question; if it's inefficient to fix bugs by looking at, and making changes to, the sourcecode, then how exactly are you supposed to do it ?
