Strictly speaking it is a derivative work (still controlled by
copyright, though).

It is not at all clear how the case would have turned out had it gone to
trial, though.  Ideas are not protected by copyright and it could be
argued that by the time they went from VAX assembler to C and made
changes to meet Microsoft's requirements that no "creative expression"
remained.

Misappropriation of trade secrets would have been a seperate issue, of
course.
