No, there isn't. Indeed, there never was. At one time, they used the
BSD networking code, but it was hardly stolen -- the license explicitly
allows for it to be used like that. These days, they've rewritten their
IP stack from scratch. AFAIK, the only BSD code left is in the FTP client.

I dislike Microsoft as much as the next guy, but incorrectly accusing MS
of stealing code doesn't help anyone.
