Read the link. It has a moderately-sized list of examples from Microsoft.

I could not find a single example of "permissively licensed software" in there. Nor do in think one exists. Remember, this is the Microsoft that would not touch open source with a 10-foot pole.
MS did embrace and extend standards, but that is a very different thing from code.
