Out of boredom... search for Copyright strings in Windows programs, it's actually surprising how much stuff is not Microsoft-original material. Take the whole networking stack and the userspace programs that go with it, it seems to be ripped right from BSD! It's pretty funny; take ftp.exe as an example, attatched picture |

In some ways, Microsoft is smart enough not to reinvent the wheel | |||

Well, I knew about that already though didn't see any proof for it... seems like it's for real then. Though, the BSD license allows it, or Microsoft wouldn't done it. | |||

Didn't someone recently discover that some files in Windows XP were made using an illegal copy of a program? Contained the cracking group's name and everything, IIRC... | |||

I didn't hear about it, but it wouldn't be surprising. A lot of programs, even commercial ones, come in a Winzip self-extractor with a big "UNLICENSED VERSION NOT FOR REDISTRIBUTION" message. | |||

Which is sad considering that Info-Zip has better compression than WinZip and has a self-extracting format. Oh well. |
