It was probably a requirement of the separation from Microsoft.
Probably not....I can picture bungie owning up to that if it was the case. Besides, all things come to an end so If microsoft did make them sign some agreement then it will expire at some point. It seems stupid because that type of thing may stress the relationship they have and MS may end up geting burnt in the end.
