Windows included (and may still include) parts of BSD. The IPV4 networking code, and some utilities like ftp.exe and rcp.exe, came from BSD.

This is no longer true, as the IP stack was rewritten in Vista.

Did the old IP stack have any MIT licensed software, or was it all BSD?

I think it was only partially BSD, but I don't have any documentation at hand.

There might be a reference to it on Windows Internals series.
