The source code is ALWAYS included. The best way to browse the source is to use the Doxygen documentation:

http://www.openfoam.org/docs/cpp/

You can search for a specific libarary/class/member/application/file name, or just browse through at your leisure. You can also compile Doxygen locally so you can read through without an Internet connection. The .so files you are talking about are already compiled files.
