As I wrote in my parallel post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43756102 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43756102): these copyright violations (not giving proper attribution of the license requires it is copyright violation) from Microsoft's side (the more, the "better", and the clearer the message) can be considered de-facto, implicitly stated corporate messages from Microsoft's side that they are from now on officially fine with copyright violations, and thus everybody is from now on free to violate the copyright on every software product that Microsoft has ever produced.
