Toward a "modern" Emacs

Again, thanks for correcting me... with at least one reference which should be very easy to provide considering "long" and "plenty".

To be clear: did Microsoft struggle with the FSF in the past? I bet. Did Microsoft have rules to deal with open source or the GPL? Yes of course. Still has, just like any other software company. What I assumed and meant is: Microsoft Legal never explicitly instructed its employees to deal with "FSF software" differently from any other GPL software.
