[ale] Weekend laugh - m$ to become more like *nix

This brings an interesting question to light...

If Microsoft started stealing GPL'ed code and including it in Windows (a
few pieces at a time), effectively creating their own distro and violating
the GPL...how would we know? We can't review the source, and MD5 sigs and
the like would be circumstantial evidence at best. Barring a court order,
how do we *really* know that this isn't happening already?

Any takers?
