> Unfortunately, Microsoft can’t use the code because (a) it’s GPLv2

That's not unfortunate. Having people who work on competing Free Software is a good thing. It would be even better if Microsoft adopted this code and complied with the terms of the GPL license. Then we won't have to deal with problems like these because they'd be nipped in the bud. And we would set the precedent to take care of lot of other problems like the malware, telemetry, abuse of users' freedoms.
