    we ALL own the code

    No you don’t. As a user, you don’t get a share of the copyright of free software, you get a license (permission) from the copyright owner. The copyright owner owns the code, not all of you.

      i mean…yeah? kinda? on a technicality?

      Developers that use our General Public Licenses protect your rights with two steps: (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

      you assert the first part as fact and then kinda skip over the second part…at least that’s how i read your comment.

      yes, the copyright owner (the creator) “owns” the work…but then immediately uses said ownership to explicitly allow everyone else to do just about anything with it, short of claiming it as one’s own creation.

      you are the best kind of correct, but only that kind.
