In reliable practice... Back around 1965 a navy facility had a large
computer system. Each user was given 4k of memory max for their
processes. They had on-line about 30 people. It took a while to get
things done back then, but it was reliable. Hard to imagine even to try
that anymore with such a small memory. No VDTs, just keypunch units and
old teletypes.
Also the PDP-11/45s could do it albeit small programs.

You are ignorant of history. The SPD broke with Communism right away
after the Russian revolution, and had fierce battles in the 20's with
the KPD (the SPD is the Social Democrats of Germany, the KPD the
Communist party). The SAP of Sweden and social democrats of Scandinavia
formed their own democratic anti-stalinist variant of socialism over
seventy years ago. Social Democrats have always been anti-Communist.
You're just beating up straw men that don't exist, and not dealing nwith
reality.

One could argue that without the BSD stack, Windows would never
have been the success it is (we'll never know, but...).
I can understand people feeling queazy about software released
for the benefit of all playing a (large) part in the "success
story" of a company that doesn't tolerate diversity in the
marketplace, releases low quality software, and competes using
illegal practices.

How can source code that doesn't contain a single line of
a library be a derivative work of the library, unless you
accept API copyrights (which no-one, including the FSF,
accepts)?
Software is sufficiently different from litterature and music
to cause friction when treated under laws that were drafted with
books, plays and music in mind. I've argued that assimilating a
running program in memory with a "copy" isn't sensible, but the
law says it is. The law also clearly stipulates what a derivative
work is, and by that definition, the source code of a program
is not a derivative work of anything it might call, refer to,
or be combined with when it is executing. The binary form of a
program (which is a derivative work of the source code) that
dynamically links to a shared library does not contain any code
from the shared library, and hence it doesn't seem to match
the definition of a derivative work.
To put it in litterary terms:
"<character> ran into a wall."
is not a derivative work, whereas
"Donald Duck ran into a wall."
is a derivative work of IP owned by Disney, even when
"<character>" is clearly designed to be replaced by
something more specific.

Please don't stand too close to a dictionary ;-)
You are wrong on all counts.
The Sega decision doesn't allow you to use "whatever code is
lying around".
Copyright law does _not_ exist to "protect our natural right
to property", but to further the development of arts and sciences,
by turning something that is not "naturally" considered
property into a form of property, so that the owner can
derive benefits from producing and "selling" that property.
In addition, there is no "natural right to property".
And in the real world, copyright does not exist so that "science
and technology are not subservient to capitalism". That's
your take on it, and indeed, you _can_ use copyright to limit
access to your IP to people who are like-minded, but that's an
effect of the limited monopoly you're granted, not the intent of
the law.
Finally, copyright is neither book-keeping, nor metaphysics.
Please go away.

This is really within measurement error - see the variability of the results
for equivalent Pentium IV systems, which is in that range.
