This is an interesting statement which I read as a pointed barb at one weakness of part of the Free Software model and not really about innovation. Taken as a statement in its rightful context about business, it is true enough.

Yet when commercial Free Software businesses — Red Hat, Novell, Canonical to name a few — start to bring the better code (composed with wider input) and start to engage enterprise software customers (for product feedback), this is the innovation & business threat Mr Gates would most like to avoid.

Most BBC News articles are formatted into one-sentence paragraphs. Gates may have had to write in that way for the BBC, or it was subsequently edited like that. As for why the BBC do it, I do not know.
