TCPIP.SYS bugged? (XP Pro, SP 2)

Ahhh, I see ... well then, you can't really argue that M$ stole it :)

I say all opensource software should be copyleft ... is there any reason why they arent ? Maybe they all don't hate M$ ? or maybe they want to give Mac or other non-free OSs the rights to use it ?

I agree.

Well the BSD licence is the best choice for software that you want to be widely implemented, alot of the time.
(Although, it's not the kinda implementation I like - other companies using the code to their own benefit and the original writers getting nothing/little back for their own software)

"The above agreement is null and void if your name is Bill Gates or you work for M$"

If the license discriminates against anyone, it doesn't qualify as a true open source license.

Well, I think the copyleft would solve the M$ stealing opensource code problem, so there is no need for the discrimination fine print anymore :)

I don't known this is Microsoft's fault...

I've noticed that this only seems to happen when i'm running a program called "tcpview" from the SysInternals site (http://www.sysinternals.com). A lot of stuff on their site is freeware, but not open source :|.
