Sent an email to the Regents of the Universite of California
a few years back, they sent back a snail mail saying they
didn't know anything about it. Then they referred me to
the proper office to inquire about a license for UC
technology. Whatever.

Right, and it's BSD licensed, so this is legal, as long as the copyright is acknowledged. And since it's in the strings, it's probably acknowledged somewhere.

Now if it were "Copyright Linus Torvalds" or "Copyright Free Software Foundation", then that would be cause for concern, but how is this implying that MS doesn't care about IP law?
