PHP source code is compiled by the PHP compiler into a program, which is then run through the server's CPU by Apache. This produces output, which can be a combination of Content, HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. This output is under the copyright of the website author and totally different / seperate in terms of ownership with respect to the source code that lead to it's creation.
My theme generates its CSS files, which means that the CSS the visitors get is not part of the source code.
