That ship sailed years ago. Even though the legal precedent was set after Cisco vs Arista that CLI elements that are of common , standard usage aren't copyrightable, nobody wants to take the risk. So they come up with other ways that tend to be not good.
That's a terrible excuse for the shitty concepts behind MikroTik's CLI. I'm not saying my stuff is much better, but yeah, actually I am.
