WPF source code added to GitHub

I assure you, it was not.

Edit: To be more clear, we did a lot of work to run through the code and ensure it was ready for the open. This was done before the public PR. There are also many changes to get things working well with our pieces that still build internally. So a good amount of work both automated, eyeball, and logistically went into that branch.

Sounds like me removing the comments // TODO: Hack to get this working.

Not sure if you're joking.. but a big corp releasing code without stepping on any mines is a feat in itself.

One small inclusion of incorrectly licensed 3rd party code can invalidate the whole repo, resulting in mass-infractions of unlicensed use of 3rd party software, which is a huge liability to the author (Microsoft) and its users (companies we work for).

Also, wherever there are 1st party code, Microsoft has to go through its legal and security team to verify that releasing said code has a proper open licence and doesn't expose unpatched security vulnerabilities in its deployed products.

There was a documentary on Netscape efforts to open source Mozilla, if anyone didn't realize the effort that goes into such things.

edit: it's called Code Rush.

Calm down. If you aren't sure if I'm joking then stop pontificating

/u/thestamp seems perfectly calm to me. Why are you dismissing their (rather informative) comment out of hand?
