May be, it is a good idea - to release old (say, 10.0) IOS sources for the colleges. It will allow them to practice in the hardware design amd protocol implementation, using solid base of Cisco IOS. Even old, 10.0 IOS, is enough for this purpose.
Hi,
What makes me excited at this news is, is there a chance to learn
which may be one of most successful protocol implementations. And, if such code is available to both college and engineers it will surelly do good to our
details of IOS life.
So, I'll be glad to see the releasing of those codes as what happened to
Microsoft.

Some years ago I was arguing with my then department head (whom I have the greatest respect for, it should be said) at Cisco that IOS should be turned open source. Needless to say, the suggestion was met with "some" resistance, mildly speaking.
