machine-readable source code

 

Lately I was reading the LGPL license and came upon the term :
machine-readable source code.

I wondered what that was exactly since i’m not an english native speaker.
I first thought this was source code like cpp, h, pro files, but also o.files that could be read, interpreted by a machine(computer).

I made a comparison with human-readable source code. Which is only code like cpp, h , pro files, but not .o files for instance.

But after some googling I found the following related definition on wikipedia :

Machine-readable dictionary (MRD) is a dictionary stored as machine (computer) data instead of being printed on paper. It is an electronic dictionary and lexical database.

So it only refers to the medium you can read it on not who/what is capable of reading it. Or am I wrong about this interpretation?
