NO. They put their time into developing it, it's their product.

Agreed.

Property Rights

The right to life is the source of all rights—and the right to property is 
their only implementation. Without property rights, no other rights are 
possible. Since man has to sustain his life by his own effort, the man who 
has no right to the product of his effort has no means to sustain his life. 
The man who produces while others dispose of his product, is a slave.

Bear in mind that the right to property is a right to action, like all the 
others: it is not the right to an object, but to the action and the 
consequences of producing or earning that object. It is not a guarantee 
that a man will earn any property, but only a guarantee that he will own it 
if he earns it. It is the right to gain, to keep, to use and to dispose of 
material values.

Selfishness, 94.
