      Well sure, anyone can use the source code as long as they adhere to the license. What I meant is that the repo hosting the code that everyone is using is not public, as in anyone can read (and fork) but anyone not authorized cannot write to it without authorization. Someone owns the repo (thus “owns” the code").

        Eh, I was thinking more the rights to access, and do what you will to the code, like microsoft, etc, owns code. Owning the repository is different. Though I guess I am being somewhat pedantic.
