Botframework-sdk: [Direct Line] Why isn't the source for Microsoft.Bot.Connector.DirectLine in this repo (or another public repo)?

Curious why the source for the Microsoft.Bot.Connector.DirectLine nuget package isn't public?

I understand it's mostly generated code from the swagger file, as @dandriscoll mentions in issue #2309, but I did take the time to recreate the direct line client via the swagger file and found that Bot.Connector.DirectLine has a good bit of code added on top of what's generated by autorest.

The source would be useful for developers trying to add functionality, helpers, ect. or are trying to use a feature not yet included in the public NuGet package (like myself with AnimationCards a few weeks ago).

Is there a reason it's not public?

@krisrok we are in the process of open sourcing this library. You can find the latest source here: https://github.com/microsoft/BotFramework-DirectLine-DotNet but, this version has not been released to nuget just yet. But, you can find the latest version here: https://botbuilder.myget.org/feed/experimental/package/nuget/Microsoft.Bot.Connector.DirectLine

@colbylwilliams Perhaps you are looking for Microsoft/BotFramework-DirectLineJS?

@nwhitmont No, I don't think so. I'm looking for the Microsoft.Bot.Connector.DirectLine NuGet package. It looks to be made up mostly of code generated by autorest.

@colbylwilliams No it's not open source - it is the swagger.json file run through autorest.

@nwhitmont I know that it's not open source, and that it's mostly the swagger file run through autorest. But as I mentioned in my earlier comments that's not all it is. There are several interfaces, extension methods, enums, etc. added on top of what autorest generates.

My question was why is it not open source? And if that question can't be answered, who owns it?

@nwhitmont also, would you mind reopening the issue as I'd really like to know why it isn't open-source, or at the very least make a feature request. I'm a Microsoft employee as well so even if it's internal - please let me know who owns that nuget package so I can work with them.

How does Microsoft.Bot.Connector.DirectLine use from attribute in message activity? I cannot post an activity to the bot if the from attribute is not supplied or userId is not supplied.
