I know you've already given up - but just answer the questions below.

If I build a jungle-gym in my front yard and tell the neighbourhood that 
their children can all use it - whose is it? If I also say that the 
parents can make additions to it to make it safer or more "exciting" - 
who is the owner after they've made these changes?
