AFAICT this isn’t by Microsoft, and anyways by this definition it would mean that Microsoft cannot do anything without being declared EEE revival except strictly implementing the baseline standard.
Extending standards is normal and expected. It’s the extinguishing part that we get in trouble, but a natural risk of any large player “contributing” to OS (their weight is what opens the possibility; but their weight is also what you want to enable larger/comprehensive OS codebases).
That is, you want Microsoft contributing to Linux. The thing to avoid is only Microsoft contributing to Linux.
