Ecutek is used usually by professional tuner shops and the tune is usually locked. This means that you won't be able to see the changes in the car's ROM. This is for a reason. They wouldn't like to see their changes be available for free on the internet.
OFT is based on an open source community and the changes are not locked. It comes bundled with some predefined ROMs made by a single tuner, but you can also use the hardware to upload other open source tunes.

In both cases, you should know that noone has an access to the actual source code. Everything is found by a process called reverse engineering. They know most of the ROM's functionality and what the different tables are doing, but the knowledge will never be a 100%.
