Yea, both are true. The Adobe code is called ATMFD (which last time I checked don't even have PDB symbols on the MS symbol server), and there is also the Indeo codec that was already partially disabled years ago due to even MS not having been able to patch it (indeed, MS created a special telemetry stub DLL that calls the real one to log how often it is used). I don't believe either is required for Windows to run though and they are also well-isolated components.

Unless Microsoft's lawyers can make sure that something like this (deeply integrated component with unclear terms with regard to relicensing) does _not_ exist, publishing the Windows source code is a rather expensive task.
