It's the BSD. Also, apparently if you install unix services for windows you get a CLI where you can run strings on all the windows binaries and see all the BSD licenses. The counter argument is that if that code was under GPL instead of BSD, then windows and apple would have developed their own code stack and implementation of TCP/IP and we would be trying to interoperate with them.
