Ask SGI how much it cost them to release the XFS sources.  It's not
the act of publication itself, but its preparation (i.e. checking for
cross-licensing, maybe even tidying up the code, removing swear words
and so on).

This isn't such a big problem if you plan for source publication from
the beginning, though.
