This kind of speak makes me slightly uncomfortable as it implies a notion of ownership that is contrary to the license used for that software. Of course, I simply (re-)use software for my own purposes without notification if it is licensed accordingly.

I'm not accusing you of being serious here, but the tongue-in-cheek is only understood in relation to a deeply ingrained capitalistic sense of property. Why is this is notion even apparent on a ML about FLOSS software?
