This is pretty common in proprietary corporate code, but surprising to see in a project that seemed destined to be open-sourced. For code that doesn't see the light of day other than in binary form, I've seen people cut-and-paste whatever they can find into a source base and then move on without a second thought. I would expect better of Microsoft -- especially from a company that supported Oracle when suing Google over Android's copying of an API (which included an incidentally small number of actually-copied source).
