This addresses interoperability with third-party products, another part of the antitrust action.

Yes, it's almost like projects such as SAMBA don't really exist.

And the EU never asked for code, only documentation about the APIs.

They've asked for code now. Apparently they didn't like the documentation they received back in March.

Remember, this action is about what the state was in the 90s. They've done a lot of reverse-engineering since then, and Microsoft has actually become cooperative.

They didn't think what Microsoft sent was good enough, and requested more complete documentation. Microsoft basically said "You want better documentation? We'll do you one better and give you the code." The EU didn't request code.
