Communication is hard, especially when you’re not having a verbal/visual conversation where you can pick up on audio/visual clues about what the person is saying. Have you considered that you might be jumping to a conclusion about what the person is saying, without realizing there might be other meaning to their words?
Better yet, rather than having this meta-debate about what a person who is not either of us meant, could you comment on the substance of my post?

There’s nothing to discuss. You’re right. But no one here was making that argument so I’m not sure who you’re trying to debate or why.

Ok, thanks for the engaging discussion. Goodbye.

If you think it’s okay to copy what someone else has created without their permission, for a product you have not paid for, we have nothing to discuss. It’s as simple as that.
