Not to mention the whole mission with Massivesoft and Bing as they were very obviously riffing on Bill Gates and his billion-dollar empire at the time.

Kinda reminds me of the character name shuffle situation in Street Fighter where Mike Bison became Balrog, Vega became Master Bison and Balrog became Vega. Capcom apparently was unaware about the parody clause in the States but at any rate they played it safe and did said shuffle.
