I think you can keep your modifications to yourself, as long as you 
don't share or publish or sell the binary. Just your own internal usage.

 From what I read in Stallman's books and what I know about the GPL, all 
of the above is correct.

You still don't own it, but now it's purely semantics.

“Semantics” means "meaning”. So “now it’s purely meaning”?

Correct. With FLOSS you don't own the software, as it's still just a
license, but you can do with it more or less whatever you want. Meaning in
practice it is indistinguishable from ownership.

So the distinction from actual ownership ... is that meaningful or not?

I'm just going to say this again because it bears repeating:

1) I don't need to make an account to download software to Linux.
2) I don't need to make an account to use the software I downloaded.
3) I can install Linux without needing to log into an account I have or 
create one.

If privacy is a concern, those are interesting advantages. Even if you 
don't care about privacy, you might be sick of logging in everywhere.

  FYI, you don't need to do any of those things for/on Windows either.

  But most people don't know or can't be bothered that they have that
option.

  For Windows, it's quite easy and practical. No so much for, for
example, Android.

Installing Windows 11? The installer won't allow you to continue without 
logging in to your account. Sure, there are workarounds if you pray five 
times a day and stand on your head doing so, but it doesn't allow it be 
default.

  The worarounds are not that difficult and some are even trivial. And
there is (well, at least was, didn't check recently) one, which doesn't
involve any hacks, just some 'clever'/'creative' answering of the
questions. In the latter case it does it allow to be the default.

  Nothing, other than that other (than Windows) commercial OSs have
these kinds of restrictions, i.e. comparing apples to apples. Oops! :-)

Start with the https://rufus.ie USB stick preparation tool.

   Name: rufus-4.6p.exe                # Portable version
   Size: 1622832 bytes (1584 KiB)
   SHA256: 8279696C1D78B14618500E9135886A3667B9DECC65946F3729002E4BFDBB20AB

Run from Windows machine, to prepare Windows 11 media for clean install to a PC.
If Linux is onboard the target (to-be-installed) machine, make sure you have
prepared a [Linux] Boot Repair CD for later, when Linux needs to be returned to control.

It uses syslinux for the USB boot part, plus it modifies some
of the goods in the Windows 11 materials, for Windows-10-like behavior.
There is a separate dialog box, which only applies when you tell
Rufus (one way or another) that this is a Windows 11 project, that
will appear before the writes to the stick start.

   [Picture]

    https://i.postimg.cc/9Q0kMWTB/Rufus-Boot-Stick-Preparation.gif

Note that, if you are using a Window 11 24H2 ISO, there is a
remote possibility that Rufus will defeat the usual issues,
however, Microsoft has promised the OS will *crash* if the
hardware does not support SSE4.2 POPCNT instruction. I tries on
the Optiplex 780, the E8400 Core2 Duo lacks the instruction, and
a Microsoft dialog stops the install. I don't get to crash.

   [Picture]

    https://i.postimg.cc/X7Pw33gF/optiplex-780-Core2-Duo-W11-Fail.gif

Notice how in that example, I install W10Home first, then while
booted into Windows, I plug in the Rufus stick and run the Setup.exe
file on it. And do a W11-over-W10 installation. Which is a lot
smoother than what I'm about to show you.

If you made media from the 24H2 ISO, and had a perfectly compliant
machine, this is the hay ride you get to take. Starting over, ls likely
to be your fate. Imagine the length of the storyboard and how many
whiteboards it took to put together this customer torture sequence.
Notice on this side-by-side Clean Install of W11Home, my new C:
drive is Bitlocker encrypted. The key for it, will be stored
in my Cloud account at Microsoft, indexed by the new MSA I'm forced
to make.

   [Picture]

    https://i.postimg.cc/XX6BGN1D/W11-24-H2-DVD-Install.gif

*******

Finally, this is the Success Case. W11-over-W10 using Rufus stick Setup.exe .

    [Picture]

     https://i.postimg.cc/T1FGRGJ7/Rufus-W11-Home-24-H2-on-10-year-old-machine.gif

Looks like Disk #33, normally used for Win10, now has a Win11 24H2 dual boot.
Since the processor has a POPCNT, no problem getting the install to work.

  <barf!> It's good that *you* don't use Windows, because you have no
clue about what's (not) being talked about.

  Clue-by-four: Paul's procedure has *nothing* to do with the issue
which Andrzej raised (circumventing the need for a Microsoft account to
install Windows 11).

  But by all means, keep digging. One of these days you're bound to come
up at the other end.

  But granted, the procedure (to circumvent the need for a MSA) is
*very* complicated. In my case I needed to press the 'Airplane mode'
button on my keyboard. Heaven knows how I managed to do that. Must have
taken hours of my precious time.
