We do have the right not to use the code, but there should be a better reason than "because it's made by Microsoft"

There is a clear differnce between closed leaked source code and GPL code donated to the community. The whole point of the GPL is to benefit the entire base of developers and users with your code. If we're going to start behaving like immature brats "oh noes! It's MS GPL! ewww it's got the cooties!" then all we're doing is undermining the very essence of the open source movement. If you want MS to change their practices and start embracing this practice, it's not by denying them the right to have their code used that you're going to be helping things. By denying their code, you're just acting selfishly like a child and will make them think twice about what the whole point of Open Sourcing software is, if they're still bring treated like shit?
