This has hit the headlines, so you might have heard already. A quote
from the article:

"Microsoft was in violation of the GPL (General Public License) on the
Hyper-V code it released to open source this week.

After Redmond covered itself in glory by opening up the code, it now
looks like it may have acted simply to head off any potentially
embarrassing legal dispute over violation of the GPL. The rest was theater."
