It's funny how often people will not read what you wrote, and instead read what they want to read.
Not only did my comment preempt that specific reply of yours in the very sentence you quoted, but you seem to have a warped working definition of the word "freedom": where you think that if someone uses it they mean "freedom to do literally whatever the hell they want to no matter who they hurt."
That means that your mental model of the word "freedom", at least when you hear others say it, begins with a straw-man.
No discussion is possible under those conditions.
I'll help you out: my personal operating definition of "liberty" is "An environment in which all interpersonal relations are consensual."
That's why, as long as you are not infringing upon the rights of others (the part of my quote that you just completely dropped and ignored so that you could react to what you wanted to read instead of what I actually wrote) you don't need the permission of others to build something. You can just go and do it.
