This is a more than clear corporate statement from Microsoft's side that Microsoft is perfectly fine if copyrights are violated (implicitly including Microsoft's), as long as, if they get caught, people start giving proper credits. This implicitly implies that Microsoft promises that from now on they will only sue for getting proper attribution in case of copyright violations, and not for monetary compensation for damages.
I find this implicit statement really nice from Microsoft's side - actually more than what I could ever have wished for. :-)
