I find it weird that Microsoft research (I assume an organizational unit of 
Microsoft Corporation, also known in some circles as the great evil) is 
sponsoring a GPLed project, given the corporation's anti-GPL attitude. Having 
(probable some) financial influence on the project, I think they might have 
tried to force them to use a BSD style license which Microsoft loves so much 
(it allows them to copy code directly into their proprietary products).
