Is the code for launching Windows containers open source yet? I'm not familiar with the Docker codebase, but a quick search didn't turn up anything except configuration-related stuff. I'm especially interested in how Hyper-V isolation and layering is implemented.

There's not a lot yet, but you can take a look at the shim used by Docker Engine: https://github.com/Microsoft/hcsshim

Any clear statement possible if all or (which?) parts of docker for Windows will be open source?

This is calling into something named "HNS"; what is that please?

[jstarks]

This is the "host networking service", which is a new service that manages VM and container networking on Windows.
