If you try to patent it, you have to provide the whole code.

Nope. Not true at all. I've got a SW patent, and one on the way.
I've never had to provide any source.

Probably none, but patenting software wasn't all that big - it probably didn't exist at the time he was coding. I doubt Bill has written a line of production code in 15 years or more.
