"Owner" is not a title (I've ever seen). And the article is not about owner dispensed as z title. Ownership is the -result- of the 3 attributes. Mandate is bestowed by management. Ownership is a state. This article is neither about legal Ownership (which you referred to in your first post, and i simplified to copyright holder.) It's not about a job title. It's about a state of mind when mandate, knowledge and responsibility collide. I'm guessing you've never been an owner in this sense, not yet. But look forward to it; it offers a unique satisfaction for a developer, especially when done well.
