It looks like there was a major backlash and they fixed it. https://github.com/microsoft/grpc_bench/pull/1/files/305618da96fe4a6e518540010ffefa2f9e92cb48

Microsoft fork changing the license?
Hello Open Source community! A month ago Microsoft forked a repository I own - grpc_bench. I was quite curious because obviously they wanted to make some exciting PR...right?

Can anyone relate?
You forgot to change the license and copyright it ;>

I was talking not only about this specific instance of it happening, but Microsoft had similar mistakes throughout the past 6 months. Here's the one from CUPS, a Linux printing library:
https://github.com/microsoft/cups/commit/ad69bcc78bdea3fea3f...
It used to be Apache License, then it became "MIT License (c) Microsoft Corporation". Thanks to the attention that this thread got, it has now been fixed:
https://github.com/microsoft/cups/commit/3859d70160010c61fd7...
But that source code was online with the wrong license for more than 6 months. Imagine if you had hosted Windows source code with a misattributed MIT license for 6 months... They would also bring out the pitchforks ;) Or even worse: well-paid lawyers.
