For anyone who knows the history of Microsoft and how they became dominate, Gates had more lawyers working for him at that time than many major companies back then. They would steal code, then lawyer up when sued. They were famous for stealing employees from the completion/companies (offering them more money), not O/S developers, but feature developers (probably the wrong title), and implement them into their software. Again, when sued from the companies they stole the employees from that brought their code with them, Microsoft would win by settling with payoffs or even buying their competition/companies out.
I know people will argue this is just business but they created a monopoly/dominance.
I guarantee someone is getting paid a large sum to silence/jail those that come against them. Same practices Gates built his empire on...same as Communism...
From my time working in the industry, my observation is that they would not allow any competition for applications. A company with a competing product would either be purchased or driven out of business by Microsoft bundling the competing app in windows, or selling it at a lowball price. I saw a lot of small software companies with a good app be bought or go under, and in a few cases, a perfectly good large company product being mysteriously cancelled by edict from upper management.
Remember before copyrights, guess it was considered open source, which I don't remember it ever being called that.
Just a bunch of enthusiast getting together, sharing...even IBM with their O/S available, haha, they even thought Personal Computers was a waste of time back then.
Then came the greed...copyrights...
The source code was sometimes labeled as Trade Secret.

Poor guy has had a target on him for many years. I know many people would like to see arrest of all the people involved with the Plandemic. It just is not that easy when so much money/corruption is involved. Many life's are at stake...of course those EVIL people would like to see RFK Jr. go away/get fired/resign...kinda saw this one coming...
