Like I don’t understand why this even became a thing and who even thought of it?
In: Economics
You *do* own the software, in terms of the physical media and the software on it, that copy is your property. If you only have a digital copy it’s the same situation.
You also own the license which is needed to use software cause that’s just how it works. It’s not a film or a song. It’s something you use over time. You can also own a car, but you need a license to use it. Why is that a weird concept?
Either way when you purchase a copy of that kind of licensed software, you get ownership of both the copy and the license, usually in perpetuity. So ownership of the copy and the license are connected since you get both when you buy it through official means.
