Some good jumping off points from this are open source game engine recreations that allow people to do things like play Doom on their phones and the various licenses that open source projects use like GPL, BSD, MIT, and 'Do What The Fuck You Want To Public License' and the differences between them and how companies have dealt with their restrictions

In regards to that last point here is an article about rsync and Apple

I had no idea. I thought it would be funny because of how absurd it is

did I read too much into this because this is shitty million dollar ideas and not million dollar ideas?

It is a kind of joke community. The premise is basically items you'd pitch in a surreal fever dream where you're on shark tank.

Some examples I just thought of are a bladeless lawn mower for people who want to give off the illusion their artificial grass lawn is real to trick their neighbours and selling disposable latex gloves in a Russian nesting doll style package where they're all inside each other so people don't need to buy multiple boxes of different sizes

I watched the 2007 version of Funny Games and Alien Nation.

I didn't think either was that great. I'm wondering if 70s movie called Funny Games is better.

Alien Nation was a somewhat generic buddy cop film with an alien being one of the cops and the other being a bigot. The whole movie feels like a not so subtle metaphor and the actual aliens don't really have a unique role or identity.

Grand Theft Auto IV gave players choice with actions instead of dialogue but I feel like the end result was similar to Cyberpunk.

Characters you decide not to kill will often help you for a bit but it doesn't drastically effect the story. You still hit a notable point of no return that only really comes into play at the very end.

Personally that feels more like an adventure game. I don't think Cyberpunk is very unique in what it did.
