There is the dba_source view. I've created a procedure before that pretty prints the source and given the devs exec privs. That keeps them out of the data dictionary, and the procedure allows you to have close control over who sees what, if that is your business need.

That was developed back in O7. There might be a new feature since then that makes this easier.
