Numbers are numbers, there is work involved in doing math, there is work involved in finding numbers with rarer properties etc, but numbers remain being just numbers, no one can own a number.

The same way no one can own the number two, no one can own any other number.


If you owned a chair and table making machine, had the energy required, and owned the wood required, i can't see how it would be wrong to make yourself some chairs and tables if you felt like it.


If someone painted the house next door blue, then you got yourself some paintcans, paintbrushes etc and painted your own house blue, you wouldn't be stealing money from the wallet (or bank account) of the painter that did the job for your neighbours, even if your neighbours left the town without paying the painter.



I do recognize that donating to who made the drivers would be a nice thing to do, but people in general (the ones without a contract to pay for the work) are in no obligation of paying anything.
