.NET (dotGNU too) "Last October I blogged about our plan to release the source code to the .NET Framework libraries, and enable debugging support of them with Visual Studio 2008. Today I'm happy to announce that this is now available for everyone to use. Specifically, you can now browse and debug the source code for the following .NET Framework libraries."

This is very useful for .NET developers. Debugging and reading the original source code is a lot better than using Reflector to examine the "source code". We now get the original variable names, the original comments (VERY useful), the original file organization, ...
And people can learn a lot from "just reading" someone else's code.
