There is a fairly rich assortment various OpenSource projects for most

NHibernate <https://community.jboss.org/wiki/NHibernateForNET?_sscc=t>,
NodaTime <http://code.google.com/p/noda-time/>, etc; but more often, they
have stuff that stands out tall and bright on their own two feet, like Moq<http://code.google.com/p/moq/>,
Ninject <http://www.ninject.org/>, to name a few.

Well, the fact that all that stuff is N + the same project originated in the Java ecosystem seems to demonstrate what I was asserting a few days ago (I must say that NodaTime is the most hilarious one: JodaTime was born because Date is the worst API in the Java language, but the fact that a NodaTime exists means either that the equivalent of Date in C# is bad as well, or that Stephen, a guy from the Java community, got the best way to do that).

have opened up considerably since. ASP.NET MVC, NuGet, WPF, RX, NMake and
countless other projects that are pretty good  in both innovation and
openness.

... then this is the opposite way: how many of those things originated by Microsoft have spread to other communities?
