Darn you to heck! Right after I copyrighted all those low-level utility algorithms!
As for products that re-implement another company's product, try OpenJDK on for size -- the open-source Java runtime that competes with Oracle Java.
How about LibreOffice, which re-implements the MS Office word-processor product, and is compatible with MS Office document formats?
And hundreds upon thousands of similar stories where people re-implement a conceptualized product using 100% original code. Except for the basic toolset, e.g. programming language specifications e.g. the Java schema.

How does all this bear on my new-concept computer which is operated by sliding beads on strings. Very inexpensive, easy to operate and even a beginner can replace the strings if they break?
