.net is "Source Available" perhaps, Microsoft makes the source available so that you can step into their code when debugging. They make it extremely easy to point VS at their symbol servers(and cache locally for performance) so you always get the exact right source you need while debugging.
If you prefer to browse the source http://referencesource.microsoft.com/ http://referencesource.microsoft.com/ has it all including the license. It appears to be a non free license as it is for reference use only.
