Now, this is getting dangerously close to flamebait, but Free Software is as much to blame as anything else. If ownership is "recognize[d] as having full claim, authority, power, dominion, etc.," then I *can't* own Free Software except for that which I write myself and even then not always (specifically in the case of software distributed by the FSF (I wrote pop3.el but I don't own it (yes, RMS has the paperwork on file))), nor can I own anything derived from Free Software. An interesting philosophical conundrum, yes? --Rich P.
