After bad PR in Russia, Microsoft issues a blanket software license to NGO

Microsoft will issue a blanket software license to nonprofit groups and journalist groups outside the U.S. after the New York Times reported that Russian police have used software copyright raids to seize computers of activist groups.

Good for Microsoft! Apparently they've had a donation program for NGOs and such in place for a while now where such groups could get free software.
