but they do have a microsoft linux; it's called "Interix" and it is now a free download, called "Microsoft Services for Unix"
I am wondering how long that stays. Part of what was in it, at least at one time was GPL. Now with GPL3 and it's Patent protection parts (that's argued, but hasn't been tried), I wonder how long Microsoft will distribute it.
The GPL doesn't force automatic upgrades. If Microsoft started using it under GPLv2, nobody can stop them from continuing to use it under GPLv2.
