Christ. I'm guessing it's to be BSD so they can pull it back and keep it proprietary at any time also. Never trust Microsoft to act in good faith. We USE THE GPL for a reason.

Ubuntu also replaced GNU coreutils with uutils recently, its not just Microsoft.

The project will deny it, but this is clearly an attack against the GPL
