Absolutely. The source of Windows is widely made available to innumerable third parties, yet I've never seen anyone claim that it's open source.
I didn't think the Windows source is widely available, only the compiled form.
.Net core is open source though.
A lot of large companies have access to the Windows source tree. It's quite common.
That's not "source available" because the software is not released through a source code distribution model.
Companies may have access in order to produce better drivers or handle security incidents, but those are back-room deals, not part of Windows' distribution model.
That's right.
