Yes! The potential of providing source is IMHO illustrated by how  
Stallman's four freedoms work. You can learn from the source, you can  
build on it and extend it, you can remake the finished work in a new  
medium, or you can ensure that it remains accessible to other  
individuals. All of this is at least as relevant to culture as to code.
