> Open Source is about user ownership of software.

No, OSS developers retain authorship (with the exception of public domain). Only the authors can change the license and terms. Users get a license to do various things with the software/code, but they do not get ownership.



Authors can only change the license if they are the sole authors or if they impose a CLA requiring others to grant re-licensing to the original authors.

A copyleft project with no CLA, levels the playing field so that everyone has the same rights. Eg.: Linux kernel
