If you're really worried, have the person with access to the MS code write a patch, and then have someone without access to the MS code reimplement the patch. Make sure that all that is taken from the orignially written patch are ideas and algorithms, not actual code. Of course, you would still have to carefully read the actual license before deciding on the correct isolation scheme.
