You claimed that nothing was "copied".
The IDEAS were copied.
VERBATIM.
The IDEAS were Cutler's and his team's in the first place, so they could not have been copied. Reused is the correct term, presumably with all new code.
At best DEC might've been able to sue for copyright or IP infringement.
And later on DEC implemented NT ideas into VMS - they called the deal an 'alliance' as I recall.
I can't find an article where MS says exactly why they paid DEC, but they did pay them a shitload of money. Far, far more than DEC would've ever earned from VMS. Looks to me like DEC was just butthurt that MS lured Cutler and his team away.
