Passing in the source code is not the same as quining. A program that is passed in its own source code can easily check to see it's been altered (e.g. by including a cryptographic signature in the source code). With quining, the program can be mutated without easy detection.
Is this relevant for the contest?
You might want to see if a program would cooperate with an obfuscated version of itself (without the obfuscated version being able to detect that it was obfuscated).
