Code
No matter what coding language you use, you are extremely limited in what you put into code by the syntax required for your commands. In other words, there is a limited vocabulary when it comes to code. Two coders who have never met or seen each others work, but wish to solve the same problem or do the same thing with their code, will invariably write similar, if not identical code. Code simply does not allow for thousands upon thousands of ways to say the exact same thing, as written or spoken "human" language does.

M$ certainly did not "invent" the word processor, the spreadsheet, presentation software, windowing, internet browsing, etc., etc.,etc. But after having developed their own version of such software, usually by reverse engineering someone else's work, they now want the rest of the world to stop selling, because somehow it now ALL belongs to Microsoft. BULL-PUCKY!
