"The BSD Sockets API can also be implemented without a single byte of
copyrighted BSD code, so some of your later statements look like
non-sequiturs."
Yes,but then you just use some other copyrighted source code. Do try to stay
focused on the point.
Winsock; it was provided by device manufacturers and NOT os providers, the
question of yours that I was answering.
As opposed to entering into a general discussion of what you personally felt
about winsock.
Further, i think you'll find in the main, it's a BSD socket library that
provides the BSD socket API and not the actual OS itself. Again, networking is
a bit further up the stack.
Even if the OS provider happens to also be the provider of the BSD socket
library, it is not actually directly in an of itself part of the OS.
