It’s still his bridge in his yard even if he had been letting everyone use it. It’s not his problem. He’s handing out free bridges to everyone. But people want him to build his bridge their way and keep using his bridge. If he wants to ruin his personal project, that’s his right.

in his yard The whole point of giving it away is that it won’t just be in his yard anymore. that’s his right Yep, you can argue that the carpenter is within his rights. That’s always a sign that the actor in question is behaving in a constructive way, isn’t it, when they run directly to the fine points of what they’re legally allowed to do? “That’s his right” is a very narrow lens with which to view the situation. It’s not a POV you’d even choose to bring to the discussion unless you had already decided on the question. It does nothing to address the real-world problems and complaints that are happening. It’s pretty much changing the subject. Would you make the same “within their rights” argument if the carpenter was Google? Microsoft?
