Microsoft did "lift" BSD code

ANOTHER LIE

they bought a TCP/IP stack from Spider Systems

I know, but you just knowingly and puposefully lied claiming they "lifted it". More proof you're willing to lie endlessly even when facts are present that expose them, as if there weren't enough already LOL. Keep going, you've already admitted you lie quote "for fun", while I have my fun exposing liars for being liars.

I have my proof. Where is yours to the contrary?

I know, but you just knowingly and puposefully lied claiming they "lifted it".

Trying to take me out of context yet again in order to libel me?

Notice I put "lifted" in quotes, exactly like you did. That's because I don't agree with the connotation of theft that the word "lifted" carries. Read a little further to create the context that you love to so conveniently omit, and you will see where I said that Microsoft's actions were (according to the evidence we have) completely legal.

Unlike you, I don't make up facts. In this case the invented facts would be that Microsoft and/or Spider didn't credit Berkeley in the TCP/IP stack code, which would make it copyright infringement. But the facts aren't there, so I don't claim Microsoft did anything wrong. Innocent until proven guilty, what a concept.
