The Windows TCP/IP stack is *NOT* based on the BSD TCP/IP stack. MS bought the STREAMS-based TCP/IP stack from Spyder, Inc, and used that.
The few BSD tools that MS does use are things like ftp.exe and telnet.exe and the like. And, they include the full copyright notice. This is just what they are supposed to do, and they are allowed to do this under the BSD license. No harm, no foul, more people using good software.
Get it through your heads people: the TCP/IP stack in Windows is *NOT* based on BSD.
