the things you listed are most certainly not a requirement.
Then what are? Why wouldn’t the ability to maintain/repair, modify or resell be requirements for ownership?
If “ownership” doesn’t have a unified meaning, then I can interpret “ownership” as the ability to maintain/repair, modify or resell the bought item.
You were arguing that having control over something (as in “being able to maintain/repair, modify or even resell” it) isn’t a requirement for the thing’s ownership?
Then what does “ownership” entail? Being allowed to use the thing but not modify or repair it? I’d argue that this isn’t what “ownership” means.
So what does “ownership” mean then for software?

But no small or translucent batteries
What issues? And does Linux have more issues than Windows or different ones?
Often Windows has more issues, people have just gotten used to dealing with them.
You mean Vivaldi?


Yeah, but what about the value that saving money created for the shareholders?
Like some older diesel engines can run on used fryer oil.
