Hi,

  
  What makes me excited at this news is, is there a chance to learn details of IOS 
which may be one of most successful protocol implementations. And, if such code is 
available to both college and engineers it will surelly do good to our life. 

  So, I'll be glad to see the releasing of those codes as what happened to Microsoft.

Some years ago I was arguing with my then department head (whom I have
the greatest respect for, it should be said) at Cisco that IOS should
be turned open source. Needless to say, the suggestion was met with
"some" resistance, mildly speaking.
