It gets a bit more controversial when the software adds exceedingly little to the creative process.
Can a pencil company dictate licensing terms of the artworks made with it? You know, legally — possibly. But ethically and morally — not even close.
CAD software adds a bit more to the engineering and design processes it is used in. There is a lot of IP, labor and money involved in building the software and its outputs.
Returning to the software at hand which records mouse movements into a raster image — that is trivial to code. It is an interesting idea, but singular, not a robust system of ideas necessary for anything like CAD. And has a lot of capital been invested to make this software possible? No.
It’s about what you give and what you take. It is a bit greedy to give very little and demand a lot.
