Hijacking of foss community

I don’t know about communication not being “property”. It is most certainly intellectual property or should be.

Communication is not property. Intellectual property is property.

Even in the USA which has the most rabid attitude to free speech possible, you can say anything you want but if you divulge somebody else's IP in the process you'll face the consequences.

My computer is certainly my property

Bet? You have a license to use the operating system, you don't own it. Ditto the IP in the BIOS. Ditto the IP in the increasing-number of cores that make up the chipset and peripherals. You don't actually own very much there, except that you can violently surrender the collective licenses by putting the whole thing through a scrap shredder.
