Amazingly, it is indeed true - I just checked on Solaris 8.
If you meant to ask if this is hoax played by sun - I don't know, it's
not the kind of hoaxes companies like to pull (putting competitor's
copyrights on parts on their own product.
On the other hand, it's very strange why Sun would honor a Microsoft
copyright on 2-line program... They could have easily removed a space
(say) and deleted that Microsoft copyright.
