Microsoft used to be like this in 00's (I don't know about now). You had to run everything by Legal, and the default answer from Legal was always "no", no matter what you're asking. Want to use zlib in your product? Even though Windows is using it in like 3 different places already, the answer is still "no". JQuery? Out of the question. Anything more exotic, might not even ask. I'm pretty sure Microsoft wasted hundreds of millions of dollars reinventing a wheel, and doing it badly, over the past few decades.
