Ownership implies control - being able to maintain/repair, modify or even resell.
To be in control of software you need access to it’s source code, and have the right to share changes with others.
“Ownership” can mean a lot of different things and the things you listed are most certainly not a requirement.
So what does “ownership” mean then for software?
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.
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.
Why would they be?
You can “interpret” whatever meaning you want, that doesn’t make it accurate.
