I simply meant that Bill Gates didn't like the idea of open source code then
(Applesoft) or now with his many (Windows) products.  It was common for Apple
in those early days to publish commented listings of ROM code in the manuals
that came with the machines.  They did not do this with Applesoft.  It is my
understanding (although I could be wrong about this) that in the contract for
Applesoft, Microsoft specified that the listing wouldn't be public.
