MS has internal tools that scan dependencies etc and flag them against legal team if anything is fishy. License choice matters quite a bit, they will not risk litigation.

Guess they should start using those tools when they setup their "looks-like-acquihire-but-really-is-a-brain-dump" meetings so they could flag the FOSS projects they want to rewrite internally.
People who run the meetings are not people who run the scanners. See also: Microsoft’s org chart https://imgur.com/gallery/org-charts-uBcF28f
