Well technically he doesn't have the rights to those things because they were reserved by the corporation who sold him his computer, which can be a problem. It was done legally so he has no rights to say, the source code of his BIOS or the documentation necessary for making drivers, because they never agreed to give anyone such info; they reserved it to themselves. If we say we have a right to what others, no matter how rich and rude they may be, have legally reserved to themselves, doesn't that amount to stealing? We should do to others what we would have them do to us, regardless of whether they return the favour.
