Microsoft Permissions?

You don't have to ask m$ for permission to use Linux. If you think Linux contains M$ IP, then don't use it. But, Linux is derived from UNIX, which was in use long before M$ was even around. Odds are M$ contains UNIX IP, but it is a closed, proprietary system so no one knows. With Linux you have the source code to look at, while with M$ you have to take their word, and actually believe they never lie. I will take Linux over M$ any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Linux is more stable, faster, more secure, and just as easy to use, now.
