They have a wide open wiki too, lots of interesting bits in there, check it out https://wiki.mozilla.org/. Some highlights -- Release Engineering [1], Meeting Minutes [2], Security [3], Reference Platforms [4], etc. Want to check out their puppet configuration management code base, well you can do that too [5]. Personally, I love how large organizations open up their configuration management code, as it serves as a nice example to learn from, Wikimedia does the same thing [6]. I have spent hours looking through these repos to see how they implement various puppet features.

I hope in a decade or so, someone will come to Microsoft forums and informs that the source code of windows doesn't seem to be visible on their github account and asks if they could fix this.

I think it's more likely that Windows source code will be available on GitHub in 10 years.

Atlassian shows the source code to their customers, even without being open-source. They don't give redistribution rights obviously, but this has proven very useful in developing the ecosystem of plugin developers. Many people to date even believe Atlassian's products are open source.
