Adding the copyright notice to be in compliance, does not change the fact that the author has chosen a licence that allows anyone, including Microsoft, to do whatever they feel like, without giving back.
So eventually, with this bad publicity, they will add the copyright notice, and move on with whatever else they are doing, in full compliance.
Everybody claims they removed the author's copyright notice. I checked many source files in Spegel, and none of them contain an MIT header with copyright.
I don't think Microsoft removed the copyright notice. I think that the original author did not add one...

The license doesn't have to be in each file. It's a license for the software. A software is a thing.
