.NET source code to become available

Here's the big news for today: Microsoft is going to make .NET source code available for all interested developers! This was announced here.

In the first release, base class library source code including ADO.NET, ASP.NET and WinForms is going to be released. Also developers do get a possibility to debug the code using Visual Studio.

Sounds great to me! Of course, the other side is that the license is somewhat restrictive, and there are people that don't like it. But for me, I've already signed so many NDAs and no-competition agreements, that I've lost count. So to me, this Microsoft reference license probably is a non-issue.
