Microsoft violated GPL...
Engineer: Microsoft violated GPL before Linux code release

20,000 lines of code they hadn't planned on releasing...shock to the community indeed

Microsoft is now officially maintaining code that will be released in every Linux kernel.

Somehow I got a feeling that every single line of that code is checked, verified, tested and scrutinised 20,000 times before any of it ends up to release tree
