JD, or anyone for that matter, can sell you a tractor while licensing you the software that runs it.

Run down to Best Buy, pick up a new computer.

Do you now own the the operating system or did you purchase a piece of hardware with a license to use the OS?

It's the later.
Even running Linux you are still working under the terms of a license. It just happens to be a license that grants you freedoms instead of restricting you further.
