Their work is used in the academic community. E.g. they have a suite for examining/debugging concurrency called CHESS which was used in a class I took in grad school and is related to and referenced by some of the research my (former) academic advisor professor does, which work is used by NASA to improve space program software.

HOWEVER, Microsoft themselves can use your modifications for whatever purposes they want, like sell them. Sweet deal...
