Who is to say what to legitimate use and what is misuse of a creation if not the creator?
2 comments

Obvioysly the world at large.

Would you consider your use of fire (e.g. for cooking) "illegitimate" if the creator of fire said so? ("No, must eat food raw! Fire is meant for heating only! Ugh!").

The people who use it.

It's like the inventor of gif declaring it is pronounced 'jif'. Who cares, basically nobody else says it like that.
