The schematics, engineering drawings, 3d models, CAD files, process documentation etc for making a car engine (or anything else) are all copyright protected. So how exactly is software special?
that's very different - does not stop me copying a car engine and selling my knockoff.
I can buy a car engine, modify it and sell my modification.
Supplimentary documentation, and schematics are a separate matter - but engine itself is not protected. Software itself is protected, you can do nothing..
