John, "They can do with it what the license terms permit and no more absent permission from the copyright owner." -> That's true, no more further reply would be needed. If Microsoft will be respecting freedom, ok. But I doubt which they will do. Will they own it and remove software freedom? I hope no. If they own something in GPL, we know they have to maintain software freedom in this way.
