Sure there is open source .
The difference is CODE doesnt contain all the elements by anymeans that a PSD does .
A programmers code will contain the code to make the script work .
a Designers PSD contains many " signature " styles . effects and the list goes on and on .
Its much easier to take just one element out of a PSD and create a whole new site , than to take one line of code and create a whole new script .

Coders won't like that comparision, lol
Just as you can study a PSD to find out how to create some effects and such, you can study code to learn how to implement certain functions, how to organize your data, etc. In fact, a source code is much more sensitive as you cannot hide any information in it, while a PSD can be much more altered in a way that even another designer would not know how you created a particular effect. Generally speaking, there is a lot of stuff you can flatten in your PSD before giving it out to the client and that will not affect his ability to edit texts, move elements, etc.
