    I didn’t think the Windows source is widely available, only the compiled form.

    .Net core is open source though.

        That’s not “source available” because the software is not released through a source code distribution model.

        Companies may have access in order to produce better drivers or handle security incidents, but those are back-room deals, not part of Windows’ distribution model.
