Not true. As another contributor said about DOS and Gates, he bought it,
and with the help of another guy, made some changes to it, and then turned
around and sold it (to IBM, I believe).

Of course, gore never claimed to "invent" the Internet. He actually
said he "took the initiative in creating the Internet." A fine line,
but also an excellent example of netlore and urban myth.
FWIW, here's a very short article that has fairly substantial fact:
http://www.sltrib.com/1999/mar/03
Just to be factual here...
Gates bought DOS from a person in Arizona who had developed an operating system
called QDOS (which stood for quick and dirty operating system). It was written
to counteract the large shell and many commands of the CP/M OS. Gates did
indeed buy it for $50,000 and then

Seattle Computer Products wrote DOS 1.0. I don't recall how much Gates and
Allen paid for it, but it wasn't much.

To be correct it was Tipper who invented the OS so that Al could invent
the Internet. Bush denies involvement in the Washington inner circle
and therefore denies any involvement with the Internet. :-)
