I don't think they can. EdgeHTML is a fork of Trident (MSHTML), and that originated from code licensed from Spyglass.

Note they dropped the Spyglass licensing thing from the about prompt in IE7 (8? I don't quite remember), following an internal audit of the codebase. They certainly believe it to be free from Spyglass at this point.
