    I think it’s insane the rules for anything computer-related or computer-adjacent

    “Oh if you make anything using our software, legally it’s ours.”

    Could you imagine if the same logic applied if you removed the “Magic Technology is Magic” aspect?

    “Oh you built this house with one of our hammers, so it’s ours actually.”

      “Oh you built this house with one of our hammers, so it’s ours actually.”

      The problem with companies like for example Adobe over let’s say DeWalt is that they actually have a pretty strong grip on it’s target market.

      If there was only one company that made tools to build houses i’m sure eventually they’d try to pull the same crap if they could get away with it.

      You can totally see the same kind of walled garden thinking in things like battery platforms for powertools. Most people buy into a brand and never go elsewhere.
