That code is now part of this February 2025 DirectX Shader Compiler release as they further build-out the DXIL capabilities. Developers outside of Microsoft previously reverse-engineered the hashing algorithm while now it’s officially open-source. This will help in situations like those compiling shaders for DirectX outside of Windows hosts or the selective Linux binaries Microsoft has provided in the past.
Let’s goo!!!

Chance they opened sourced it because people pretty much figured it out by reverse engineering
Does Microsoft have newer code that’s still closed source, is this old code ?
Could they open source an old inefficient method while keeping the up to date efficient methods to themselves
