I don't need my builder's permission to add a sofa, paint the walls, or change the locks. But god help you if Adobe finds out that you've changed the DRM locks on the version of Photoshop that you "own".

Depends on the license, ones like Unlicense or 0BSD try to opt out of the default copyrighted licensed state of released code.
