You know, the GPL which Microsoft has supported!

"But the truly startling news is that LinuxIC is being released under the
GNU General Public License (version 2). Microsoft once called GPL anti-American.
Now it calls it friend. The gods must be crazy. Or maybe Microsoft is simply
recognizing (finally!) that GPL can be a capitalist's close ally. That and the
fact that many components within the Linux kernel are GPLv2-licensed make the
move completely natural...at least, once you forget that this is Microsoft
embracing GPL, rather than some other company like Red Hat."
Reluctantly, yep. But they have embraced it nonetheless.
Maybe that was the footgun shot?! ;)
