What about Interix? by JoeBuck
Parent article:
Microsoft's proclamation on GPLv3
I closely read the linked article; Microsoft only says it isn't bound by GPLv3, and they don't think that their work with Novell snags them. They don't make the broad claim that they aren't bound by any version of the GPL.
As far as I can tell, even distributing Interix binds them only in a limited way: if they take a patent action against one of the GNU tools they distribute, they would lose the right to distribute that tool as part of Interix.
