LLVM and associated projects such as clang. Bazel is good too. OkHttp and Retrofit by Square.
LLVM is remarkable; the domain is both difficult and critical. Still, the code is consistent enough that I can often guess how things work based on what I think would be reasonable!
SQLite. and for this reason alone! https://www.sqlite.org/testing.html As of version 3.23.0 (2018-04-02), the SQLite library consists of approximately 128.9 KSLOC of C code. (KSLOC means thousands of "Source Lines Of Code" or, in other words, lines of code excluding blank lines and comments.) By comparison, the project has 711 times as much test code and test scripts - 91772.0 KSLOC.
And all that is public domain: https://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html
A lot of the KDE source code is well written and maintained.
This is not necessarily about the code, but I've been really impressed for a while by the lodash project and its maintainer's dedication to constantly keep the number of open issues at 0. Any issues get dealt with at record speed, it's quite a sight to see. https://github.com/lodash/lodash/issues
I hold the source code of Go standard library & base distribution (i.e. compiler, etc.) in very high regard. Especially the standard library is, in my opinion, stunningly easy to read, explore and understand, while at the same time being well thought through, easy to use (great and astonishingly well documented APIs), of very good performance, and with huge amounts of (also well readable!) tests. The compiler (includ…
Both Vue and PostgreSQL. Both have great code base. Amazing documentation. And amazing communities.
Put another way, there's more to a product that's easy and sensible to work with than code quality.

As far as I know, parts of the compiler are still code automatically translated from C, so this may be part of the reason.
in most cases "Hello World" is open-source, but I still don't know if can be named "project"
