It's not BS moron. If you could read, you'd see that they were using BSD code in their TCP stack.

They obviously didn't steal it though, even though you attempted to claim that they did. Now you're reduced to calling me names, yet again.

Please post exactly where I said they stole the code, troll.
Please also post anywhere in this thread where I said they didn't include the necessary attribution in those places where they use BSD code, as required by the BSD license.

I already did, you said they lifted it, when in fact they bought it. Get the facts straight, for once, and you and I might actually get along. But right now it's me constantly correcting you, and you resorting to insults.

Arguing semantics is another one of the troll's specialties.
