Indeed GDAL/OGR uses some ESRI code, example:

https://github.com/OSGeo/gdal/blob/a1df7cb9df2fe3cbcfac974b434b01ac6a1946e5/gdal/frmts/mrf/JPEG_band.cpp#L21

 

If you don’t want anyone with competing products, it’ll be a short list, and 
somewhat difficult to justify (e.g. OSGeo has lots of software that is mostly 
developed and tested against Oracle’s Java, but Oracle Spatial is an 
alternative to PostGIS). If you don’t want anyone who does patents, it’ll 
exclude most of the big IT companies.

 

Is this just an emotive response?
