How do source code copyrights work?

Question

If I buy a source code and customize it, would the creation rights be with whom? With the originator of the source code, with me (who codified the code) or with both?

Hi Marcus
Software whether it is source code or binary or cloud use is almost never "sold" it is normally "licensed"

for use. As Martin Taylor says you need to check the terms of sale to know your rights. It gets even more complex with API specifications, as witnessed by long running Oracle , Google law suit over Java.
