There's also a good amount of commercial and leaked source code on GitHub, including MS's own leaked Windows XP source. I haven't played around with Copilot yet, but if I ever do I plan on copy/pasting some win32 API definitions to see if I can get it to spit out any of the leaked source.

If that works, then I can't wait for that to be a boon for Wine and ReactOS: "Microsoft itself provided this code and allowed us to use it, so therefore it's totally legal. Neener neener."
