The source is available. You have the right to fork it. If there’s something in the propriety release that’s harmful, you might have a case - but all Microsoft is doing here is counting on people being willing to consume the builds rather than coming together to use the source code.

Basically: Microsoft is betting that people care more about free as in beer than exercising software freedom. So far, they seem to be correct.
