Due to its nature of C++ templates, MSVC STL source code was practically available to anybody. I think in theory, I could get hand on free of charge version of MSVC without agreeing the MS EULA then extract the archive, again without agreeing the MS UELA, and peak the source code. In reality, I don't bother to do that and whenever I teach C++, I ignore MSVC and its STL. I'm willing to teach but Nooo, it's MS who prohibit me to do so. Now I can't use that excuse anymore.
