Re: .NET Data Provider

I don't think they do. This is a pretty standard way of obtaining
references and code that are used in any un-obfuscated .NET assembly.
If you use the Windows Command Line to navigate to
"c:\windows\assembly\gac", you can copy the IBM.Data.DB2.* folder
contents somewhere else. Then download
http://www.red-gate.com/products/reflector/ and open the copied IBM .NET
assembly with Reflector. You can view the disassembled code as well as
any references and base types used in the assembly.

Does IBM document this somewhere?

I don't believe that's the case. The .NET DLL then invokes non-.net DLLs
(CWBxxx) to do the actual communication. It's not a "pure" .net
assembly. I've never tried to bundle all the DLLs together, certainly
not going to be a supported setup.
