the question was where to find the source code

There is no source code release - It's a commercial offering. I played with it a few years ago and imho, it's good for hobby stuff, but thats about it. OTOH, pcb is open source and more powerful (If you compare both offerings, pcb wins hands down). Plus, the support is light years ahead of their support (and everybody elses...) because of this mailing list :)

If you take the time to learn how to use pcb, there is very
little you can't do with it (Or at least, that's been my
experience).

The only thing it has that pcb does not have is a _very_
mouse centric interface (MS Mouse monkey style...). For
me, this is not a feature, but a pain in the a$$ that makes
simple things take more time and time consuming things _really_
take more time.
