Are you saying that i don't own the things i create?

Yes or no.

@BillySmith You clearly do. Also, I want to make it clear that by "private ownership" I'm referring to the private ownership of the means of production, not of things you create.

I'm an engineer as well as a musician.

Some of the things i create are music and song.

Some of the things that i create are tools that i use to make more tools.

Do i own the tools that i make?

yes or no.

@BillySmith If you made those tools then yes you own them. But most of the means of production aren't made by just one person, so this isn't really relevant to this discussion.

Note that as i work on #OSHW tools, i am happy to share the designs, and help other people make their own versions, but i want to decide who can use my own tools.

@BillySmith If you made the tools on your own then that's your right to allow whomever you want to use them.
