Your idea of ownership is way too primitive and doesn't reflect reality.
You do NOT own the software that comes with your GPU!
Ownership implies the ability to transfer, modify, and resell, none of which are within the rights granted by the license of said software.
It's not "rental" either - it's licensing. You don't have to become a lawyer, but knowing and understanding the difference between proprietorship (ownership) and possession is a good start. Same goes for renting vs. licensing vs. ownership.
TL;DR you do not have ownership of any software that came with any device you bought and it's not hyperbole at all.
- bdowling 6y ago> You do NOT own the software that comes with your GPU! When you purchase a consumer GPU that comes with software, you acquire the GPU, the copy of the software it came with, and a license to use the software subject to particular terms and conditions. That is what you own, no more, no less.
