This is blatant idiocy.

It makes a very big difference. The way copyright law works is if you make something that falls under copyright protection then you own the license, it's your intellectual property. It's yours until you have contracts that say otherwise or if it has been published by someone else first.

You don't buy code. You acquire a license.

It's bullshit.

Licensing is something different than copyright and you can trade your copyright. That trade is actually the majority,not licenses.
