The person I was responding to began with "Ignoring that Microsoft isn't following the MIT licensing requirements", and it is clear in his comment that he's not referring to the OP's issue, but the issue in general.
In other words, he's saying that even if it had been some other license, he wants attribution.
That's silly. If you want attribution, say it up front (which could simply mean picking the MIT license).
Make sure you pick a license that reflects what you want, then.
