It's a condition in the standard MS employment contract which states that employees are not allowed to even *look* at open source code. This cropped up with another MS employee who wanted to open source some code he wrote on his own time but this would mean that he couldn't even look at his own code if he open sourced it, so at the moment it's available only on a see-no-touch basis. I believe that this condition doesn't apply to the folks in the MS open source labs, but I could be wrong since MS has done far stranger things.
