In other news, La Cosa Nostra has posted a request for input from the community on how to improve its promise not to kill individual prosecutors.

This is a good analogy! What Microsoft is doing is just as if the Mafia said, "We won't assassinate prosecutors as long as they only write legal briefs for their private use and study. As soon as they bring those documents into court and start actually using them in a way that may threaten us, all bets are off."
