Bungie to leave Microsoft?

I thought MS owned Bungie:

(old article where MS BUYS Bungie)


It would seem more likely that they would sell Bungie off, than just let them leave. I guess the other scenario, is that when they bought the company, many of the founders/employees were signed contracts to stay with the company for a certain amount of time, maybe those contracts have expired and key employees want to move on, so they've reached some sort of compromise.
