MS has an ace up their sleeve on that one anyways. To find the code
would mean that you have disassembled/reverse engineered *their* code,
which is against the license agreement. I am pretty sure that their
legal dept would have a field day in court with that point. Or worse,
using that as "evidence" that the open source community really *is* busy
trying to attack their precious code.
