Microsoft halts Windows 7 tool after GPL code claims

Not surprising. I would imagine you will find a lot of open source code in a lot of MS products, including their OS. They have a track record of using other people's IP, and not changing a single line of code, and calling it theirs. Only when they get caught do they act, but they have the best lawyers and judges money can buy, so they usually come out smelling like a rose. I don't expect this will be any different.
