From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Microsoft published that script to Github.
Calling it piracy to use their openly published script is... I don't know, incorrect?
Wait, what? I'm out of the loop here. Microsoft published a free activator? What's the catch?
Didn't knew that ! :/ I'm sure that wasn't the case in the past (It was only called KMS at the time).
This is also why it still up and running on GitHub?
Edit: After a quick research I couldn't find any info, do you have any reputable link to back your claims?
Edit2:
Where can I donate? MAS project doesn't accept donations and it's free. It's because it's a community project and involves many contributors, splitting donations is not practical, and also because profiting from piracy is not good.
