The license let you use the CONCEPT of the ribbon and it is not restricted to any implementation or platform. This means that if you buy a third party ribbon control running on a MAC you should get the license, but also if you use Microsoft free implementation of the scenic ribbon.
Getting the license is not a major restriction provided that you are not competing with one of the office applications.
Microsoft 要求您获得许可证才能在应用程序（Fluent 或 Scenic 变体）中使用功能区概念。我认为这是为了防止其他平台（Linux、Mac 等）在其软件中使用相同的想法。
但我不知道这个要求是否具有法律效力，也不知道他们是否有机会执行。我想我们不会知道，直到它作为苹果的实现出现在 Mac 上，然后一场法庭之战随之而来！
Microsoft require you to get a license to use the Ribbon concept in your application(either Fluent or Scenic variations). I presume this is an effort to prevent other platforms (Linux, Mac etc...) from using the same idea in their software.
But I have no idea if this requirement is legally valid or if they have any chance of enforcing it. I guess we will not know until it appears on the Mac as an Apple implementation and a court battle then ensues!

根据 这，它确实需要许可。
该许可证允许您使用功能区的概念，并且不限于任何实施或平台。这意味着，如果您购买在 MAC 上运行的第三方功能区控件，您应该获得许可证，而且如果您使用 Microsoft 免费实现的风景功能区，您也应该获得许可证。
只要您不与其中一款办公应用程序竞争，获得许可证并不是主要限制。
According to this, it does requires licensing.
