> It's not a corporate policy. I've personally had hours-long study sessions at McDonalds restaurants with just a drink purchase.

Just because it is not enforced where you are, does not mean it is not corporate policy. It can also depend on how busy the McDonalds is, I can imagine when it is after lunch, and the store is almost empty, they aren't going to kick anyone out.

While I don't have access to their corporate policies directly, at least one store owner has claimed he isn't aware of such a policy[1]:

   Roger Muselman, owner of successful McDonald’s       
   restaurants in Kewanee and Geneseo, 
   said he hasn’t heard about putting time limits on 
   customers and that it will never happen here.
