Microsoft also threatens lawsuits to Android companies if I'm not mistaken.

  That's purportedly over patents, not copyright. They're probably weak claims, but it has nothing to do with GPLv2 vs. GPLv3 vs. MIT vs. BSD vs. Apache vs. any other license. It has to do with not getting patent suit indemnification from Google. Google did go to court multiple times for copyright claims from Snoracle.

    And I find it interesting that people suddenly claim MS is now the "good guy" and is friendly to OS community.

      It's not the "good guy" just a lot different than the Balmer era M$. At least now they embraced open source instead of fighting against it and they do give back to the community as opposed to VMWare.

        But are they still taking money from vendors over possibly bogus patent claims?
