Question: I'm curious as a pedestrian n00b why it's important for the license to say cockos always maintains ownership? ELI5?

Ownership has a lot of rights associated with it! If you owned REAPER itself, you could do a million things, like sell copies to other people.

in our honorable opinion.. people can "own"...just not duplicate,replicate,redistribute or reseell any working parts..any further modification is an issue to be clarified in detail..simplesd./?

FWIW if you buy a REAPER license, you for all intents and purposes "own" that license and it's good for as long as you want to use those REAPER versions, so what's the hangup? You own the license to use, not the actual thing.

justin,with all respect- remember back why you employed schwa (did he not do something that was not permitted which impressed you? ) think about it..extra capable minded users can help "fix things" a lot quicker by owning a right to modify for the good of all.. + please check gumshoe opinion on registrations of any kind...this is quotable and researchable fact ok.. > youtu.be/Q4dZHORYjKw cheers.
