Honestly, it looks like they're starting off by doing the equivalent
of open-sourcing Core Foundation (the Base Class Libraries). Which
Apple did years ago via Darwin.
Although it'll be interesting to see how much of WPF actually makes
it to open-source :)

Not exactly true. I've used .Net, don't care much for the
programming environment and would describe the APIs as... adequate.
Here is one more thing to make me more likely to choose it for future
projects. Microsoft has announced that they'll be including source
code for
.Net.

Certainly an interesting choice. Although, if a bit full of
conspiracy theory, I suspect that the post at http://www.eweek.com/
article2/0,1759,2191754,00.asp probably has a kernel of truth.
If source were available for Cocoa and QuickTime and various other
APIs, I
can think of dozens of times over the past year where I wasted one
or more
days due to poorly documented, buggy, or incomplete APIs from Apple.
Yes. And at the same time Apple would have given away it's "crown
jewels" making them, for all intents and purposes mostly worthless.
If pursuing that idea has merit for you, however, I would encourage
you to pursue it farther in an appropriate forum.
