Moving your DNS to a BIND implementation would comply with the letter of that policy but not the spirit. BIND will need a home and that could involve spinning up another couple of servers. Plus, the DC's where DNS is running now will continue to run as DC's. The end-result is server sprawl and you aren't doing a thing to get Microsoft outta your shop. The only way I'd switch to BIND is if I were going the Samba route with an eye toward getting rid of Active Directory entirely. If you're running AD, keep MSDNS. Sleep well at night.
