MS claimed APIs are copyrightable. MS strongly pushes lock-in in markets where they have strong presence. It shows they haven't changed enough to trust them with anything.

At the same time as Oracle. See https://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-teaming-up-with-orac...

So MS contributed to the abysmal court decision.
