Because it was done intentionally by an employed individual in this case rather than a bot. You cannot in good conscious as an individual make this "mistake" without knowing or acting maliciously unless you are incompetent to begin with. Seems like a growing trend at MS. And I'll remind you that Apple actually uses CUPS for their print backend and funds it directly, they retain the original license and support the project, meanwhile MS takes it, doesn't contribute and acts like it's their own, sick. https://github.com/microsoft/cups/commit/8100595a3a3a6d5c7d0...
In Microsoft forked MIT licensed repo and changed the copyright [fixed]
