The most interesting for me was this (emphasis mine):

,----
| Microsoft released their NetBSD installation ISO image with everything: 
| their custom scheduler, *full sources*, tools, man pages, etc. [...]
| (Under the nice NetBSD license.)
`----

especially since the BSD license does not force them to release sources, 
or to release them under same license.
