While it’s not entirely “source” and it’s not common, a few albums have been released with stem files.
Nine Inch Nails is notable for being progressive in this area.
Yeah, I know that NIN does release the stem files with their releases, but it's just 1 or 2 bands worldwide, most don't do that.
Still it is a thing though.
I was just making the point that conceptually “open source music” exists and has even been commercially released by notable artists.
