Yeah, I just don't agree. The definition of ownership has been steadily shifting but the notion that the physical good is yours, the software that runs it ain't is hardly new. This is Tesla saying they don't extend a commercial license to their autonomy software and guaranteed - everyone else will do the same as soon as they decide they're willing to release it. The fact that Tesla jumped the gun on "self-driving" pretty much guarantees that they jump the gun on licensing.

You aren't allowed to make money with an academic version of Photoshop, either. Never have been. You want to use it to make money, you buy a different license. Same same.
