You mean the developers at Seattle Computer Products who wrote 86-DOS, the
CP/M-86 clone that Bill Gates bought.
<Those were the
days>
I have fond (but dim) memories of contributing to the utilities
for ZCPR, a set of Z80-specific enhancements of the 8080 CP/M system.
I also
remember creating a functional replacement for one of Microsoft's M80 (8080
assembler) utilities, after discovering they had used a bubble sort(!!!!) that
resulted in crazy runtimes for non-trivial programs. Shell sorts are your
friend.

Microsoft also copied some specific subset of Posix to
interface with Unix, and then there is Posix itself. (Note -
I don't understand these things well - just trying to
remember something I read.)[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Oracle SQL probably has at least one non-standard API
extension that is a copy of someone else's non-standard API
extension.
If Oracle wins this case, this APIs are copyrightable
concept
...
I sincerely hope oracle have a licence for those APIs
as they
being the ones maintaining APIs are copyrighted have otherwise
been
wilfully infringing that copyright even if the
copyright holders don't
consider/reaslise the APIs copyrighted
.
