Many built-in functions are open source too. Use the "PrintDefinitions" ResourceFunction to see the code of functions that are implemented in Wolfram Language itself.

Source available? The license is still proprietary, right?

    Yes, it is all proprietary, but there are still ways to inspect most of the WL-implemented functions since the system does not go to extreme pains to keep them hidden from introspection. It is not unlike Maple in that sense.

      Yeah, hiding the recipes for how the math is really done would make the whole system kinda guess-and-hope for serious users.
