If this is part of the same program that will allow other governments to view source code, as the article seems to say, then they will still not be allowed to compile the code. If you can't compile the code and compare the binaries to what you're running, there is no assurance whatsoever that the code you're inspecting yields the software you're running.
There's no reason not to compile, either. Even in a clean room with no external connections, you can inspect the code and compile it. You can then generate a checksum and compare this to the checksum on what you're running. If they don't allow this, they aren't really providing anything.
