So there actually IS a distinct difference between selling something versus giving it away, and I was rightful in distinguishing between the two, while your original claims there was no appreciable difference between selling something to the Chinese and giving them something for free as you support was in fact just more of your endless BS. Microsoft doesn't sign their copyrights over to the Chocomms either, so that's obviously just another one of your illogical red herrings as well.
Except that one is real property and the other is a software license. If I give away my house, I have no house. If I license my software freely, I still have my software.

For you, a more apt comparison with real estate would have been "When you decide to let Chinese spies use your house as a base of operations, will you charge them rent or let them stay for free?" Your logic says it's not quite as bad if you charged them rent.
I answered you. You answer me.
