I believe that Microsoft is against the GPL. Prolly won't find too much Linux code in Windows. The TCP/IP stacks (i've heard) are pretty close. Windows has added a few things, but essentially they are the same. The BSD licence and the GPL, as we all know, are very different. BSD good GPL bad. -- Dave McKay (i work for no one) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
