If you can make them understand the power behing open source I think they
will let it released.:)

Open source is good for them as well, as currently they have a version. They
paid for it. But unless they pay for it again and again it's bugs won't be
fixed and it will be outdated after some time.

But if they release it as open source other people can fix and imporve it
(in other words maintain it), and they will benefit this as well.

And of course we could use it.:)

As I understand it the main difficulty in dealing with Microsoft's WMI
implementation is that it runs over DCOM and not a standard protocol
such as HTTP.

I wrote a C# DCOM stack and WMI implementation for my company, but since
they own it and not me I can't release it into the Mono class libs.

Hmm, how about OpenWBEM? WMI is supposed to be an implementation of the
WBEM
standard, OpenWBEM too.
