You can download most of the Blizzard WoW Lua code there :

http://us.blizzard.com/support/article.xml?locale=en_US&articleId=21466

Download the first archive (WoW_Interface_art.zip), and look for Lua
files in there. For the one I have (these zips are not clearly
versionned), it's 243 files for a total of 131kloc.
