Here are some that I found that are all created in that window: - https://github.com/Microsoft/Docker-PowerShell - https://github.com/Microsoft/malmo - https://github.com/Microsoft/projection-grid - https://github.com/Microsoft/HoloToolkit-Unity - https://github.com/Microsoft/pxt - https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder - https://github.com/Microsoft/elfie-arriba - https://github.com/Microsoft/team-explorer-everywhere I could have found more, but its a big org. Any examples I found that used other licenses where that way because they where related to something else that used a previous license (i.e. all TypeScript stuff is Apache2, hence any new TS is still be Apache2 for consistency).

For what it's worth, the BotBuilder from Microsoft is open-source: https://github.com/Microsoft/BotBuilder - could be worth a peek. As the website states, this SDK is only "one of three main components of the Microsoft Bot Framework", and I'm not sure if the other two are open-source, but it shouldn't be all that significant given that it's just integration with Microsoft products, like Office 365, plus the bot directory, which I imagine consists of some ready-to-use bots one could possibly piggyback on. This is not voice recognition, but once you're past that stage what you have on your hands is a piece of text anyway - which has to be parsed and processed.
