Wouldn't happen. All of us at MS who contribute to open source
stuff do it because we like to contribute to open source stuff.
Luckily i'm at MS Research, where it's fairly easy to get someone to
sign the waivers/etc to contribute stuff. In fact from what i know,
it was my group that is the reason NT source is available to any
university for research purposes.
Sorry, I just used Microsoft as a placeholder for the Evil Corporation
of your choice. I didn't mean to offend anyone; it was more like a
reflex thing. :-)
