For the curious, MSDN is now called Microsoft Docs.

To the surprise of many, much of the documentation on the site is also open-source[1].

What's the surprise about documentation being open source? The overwhelming majority of the source is going to consist of the text of the documentation, which is open anyway.
Your information is a little out of date, Microsoft Docs became part of Microsoft Learn, so MSDN is actually now Microsoft Learn, or part of it at least.
