Exactly. They "stole" from a "thief" [1]. The first credible "cluster"
forming around GUIs (concepts, programming languages, software and
hardware) was Xerox PARC [2]. Other things we take for granted these
days (laser printers and Ethernet) were incubated there.

A testament on what human creativity is capable of if you fund it
well and keep management at bay.

[1] The scare quotes are there because I don't believe in such a thing
   as "intellectual property". Sure, author's rights make sense, and
   correct attribution, but woning an idea as I might own a pair of
   shoes seems monstrously ridiculous to me.
