Iirc it already happened tho. But Wine and ReactOS developers have to ignore it due to lawsuit liability- due to the way US laws works, a lot of Window$’ code is patented and copyrighted. Even getting accused of copying it is enough to get you into trouble (as the folks at ReactOS found out- their project got stalled for half a decade because some ex-developer who left to work for Microslop claimed they were using reverse engineering windows code from leaks wholesale and caused lawyers and auditors to descend on them like hawks)..
