I have had a cursory look and based on the information from McAfee blog (link that moody posted), I am guessing the functionality of p9rdr.sys is similar to what brucee (Bruce Ellis) implemented some 20 years ago in the wen.sys component of the Rangboom agent for Windows.
There are a lot of historical legal strings attached to the use of Windows Installable Drivers and Windows Driver SDKs, which makes it risky to publish the source. I would release it under MIT license, if I can get approval from MS (I've not looked at their requirements in years, so they might have already been relaxed).
