- tophfisher, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16Yes, yes.. It's legal. It's just not moral for a company that calls Open Source a "cancer" and spends millions trying to discredit it to turn around and use that very code.

So, I guess Windows is no longer American. Treason!! Treason!! :-) - DoodlesMcPooh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This is old news.
The TCP/IP stack comes from BSD also.
I give Microsoft their dues they gave the correct credits for the bits they have used from BSD. - atdigg, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Microsoft never said that open source is a cancer they said that GPL is a cancer. BSD uses BSD license not GPL. The summary is plain idiotic. "How ironic is it that the windows developers didn't even bother to strip the copyright notice" if they use BSD software they have to give credit when credit is due.

(the rest snipped for brevity) - trollenlord, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1That's where they picked bad words. They should have been more concise about that in many places. Microsoft is against copyleft licenses, not the non-copyleft open source. Most of their own publicly released open source is using non-copyleft licenses too.
- shrewduser, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3he never said it was an infringement of any kind, in fact if you bothered to read the article he mentions that its legal.
