Vyre kun, the "R" isnt even close to the "L" to claim you fat fingered the key.
You simply were not "pure" at the time of the writing!

I admit he did clean it up a bit after acquiring it. 2, Blatantly copying code and hiding behind a wall of lawyers came later and often. He didn't have the wall of lawyers in the early days. I think that tactic peaked around MS DOS 3 - 5. Offline
Gates sold "MS-DOS" when he didn't have it, then went and bought Q-DOS to re-badge it as MS-DOS so he could sell it.
It's not illegal, just unethical. Surprising no one, companies don't give a frak about ethics. The lawsuits came later when everyone else that did not sell an OS to IBM realised they could have made a whole bunch of money. Too late.

The deal falls through with CP/M so bill gates pivots and successfully acquires all rights to 86-DOS(aka. QDOS) and then develops PC-DOS which is then sold to IBM. The big "stealing" claims stem from an argument that 86-DOS(aka. QDOS) copied code from CP/M and that DIR's lawyers had forensic proof, yet they never assert their claim beyond that point. The article I linked early makes the claim in 2012 that there is no evidence that CP/M code could be found in MS-DOS, it does not claim that is true of 86-DOS. A wise man once said “if youre not cheating, youre not trying”.
He was also a fictional character so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Online

So Chanti are you saying the only way to succeed in a capitalist society is to lie/cheat/steal?
no, I would say she is saying it is the easiest way not the only way. Humans do like the easy way though
