Just guessing here, but maybe ...

** I'm afraid that somebody would steal my code.
** I'm worried about being critisied for my coding style/habits/etc...
** I'm still working on it and it could change radically before the 
     final release.
** I've "borrowed" it from somebody else and I don't want it recognized.
** Its subject to a commercial, government, or other non-disclosure
     agreement.
** It contains malicious or illegal functionality and I don't want
     that discovered.
** I wish to charge people if they want access to the source, but
     otherwise its free.

and who knows how many other valid-ish reasons there might be.
