I don't see how the company's actions would affect the employees. If they directly participated in the seizure? Sure. But a random software developer at Microso

  > If they directly participated in the seizure? The exclusion language in the agreement does not specify direct participation, merely participation. But even the most direct participation is going to involve a large number of employees performing job functions as directed, and include firms (and employees at those firms) participating under a direct, non-discretionary legal mandate.

    Sure, but you're not participating if your company participates, that's my point. An individual is separate from the company they work for. Microsoft as an entity can't request a certificate, sure. An employee that was involved in the seizure can't, sure, same deal. But an employee that had absolutely no involvement in the seizure but happens to work for the company? Nothing in that language says that they'd be banned. I also highly doubt the scale you're talking about. I doubt that "many" employees are involved in a seizure. It's a sensitive matter, in the best interests of everyone to keep it as contained as possible.
