Although supposedly the BitKeeper protocol was documented, and to find it, Andrew Tridgell connected to a BK server via telnet and typed "help". No idea how much the truth has been romanticised, but I suspect that it at least helped the reverse engineering effort, even if the documentation was incomplete.

I'm currently reverse engineering a USB VoIP handset in my spare time, as the only driver that exists for it is for 32-bit Windows. I'd recommend the experience to any hacker. I'll try and write up my findings when I'm done - there are a bunch of HOWTOs out there but I found them woefully incomplete.
