own forever
Ownership implies control - being able to maintain/repair, modify or even resell.
To be in control of software you need access to it’s source code, and have the right to share changes with others.

“Ownership” can mean a lot of different things and the things you listed are most certainly not a requirement.

You were arguing that having control over something (as in being able to modify it and resell it) isn’t a requirement for the thing’s ownership?
