No Microsofties look at GPL code???

I don't think so... someone at M$ has been looking at my GPL'd code. From my Apache server logs:

tide117.microsoft.com - - [03/Jan/2001:18:42:17 -0500] "GET /pppoe/rp-pppoe-2.5.tar.gz HTTP/1.0" 200 86317

tide120.microsoft.com - - [31/Aug/2001:04:06:23 -0400] "GET /pppoe/rp-pppoe-3.2.tar.gz HTTP/1.0" 200 170524

There are a few other snippets of Microsofties downloading my PPPoE software. And now Windows XP has native PPPoE support... Hmmmmmmmmm..... :-)
