I assume you've carefully examined the NT 3.51 (and 4.0) license
agreement?  If they did use anything that's from a BSD socket layer
there should be a clause 3 statement there[1][2].

I think I've got a NT 3.5 server kit at the office somewhere...

[1] I mention this because I sware I've seen an actual NT 3.51
manual, the front cover if which DID contain the Bezerkly license
agreement.  Unfortunatly I've lost it. 
[2] And knowing Microsoft's lawyers, it really is there even if
they were trying to cover the fact up.
