MicroSoft/Bill Gates bought MSDOS, did this mean he couldn't defent his ownership of the operating system?

Gates bought MSDOS

Of course he can. He bought it and used it and made a bazillion dollars.

This is unlike the case in point, where NTP did ~not~ create or invent or do anything at all, or from the look of it, even buy out someone else's idea that was worth anything. Well... worth 600M this time around.
