The source folder is special because it is the folder that will be added to
your pythonpath.

You can create a regular folder with a link and later set that folder as
your source folder -- so that it enters in the pythonpath (but pydev
currently only supports source-folders as link folders... other link-folders
beneath your structure will not be treated correctly for code-completion,
analysis, etc).
The same is true of files vs. Pydev modules. Is there any reason not to

No real reasons... the only difference is that it will make sure that you
can only create things inside a pydev source folder (and you don't have to
put the .py extension) -- because files outside of a source folder will not
enter the pythonpath, and will not be part of a code-completion or analysis.
