opting to not lock the source code of his work like another guy we know well...
I'm out of the loop, who are you referring to?
Mr.Redmond
in flesh and bones
Ahh, I thought it was somebody else you were talking about since DOS was never open source
It was about ms basic at the time I believe.
Interesting, so they had an open source product back then?
No, but they were very adamantly against the sharing of ms basic which was their big product (before dos), at a time when software sharing was fairly common.
Oh ok, makes sense.
Funnily enough, it seems they decided to make it open source about 40 years later
