User License types that can own records?

Hi, 

very general question. Can the record owner be someone other than "Salesforce" license user? 

I mean when I create a new user in the User Licnse type drop down I have 3 oprions: "Salesforce", "Chatter External" and "Chatter Free". If I create a new User X with "Chatter Free" license type, I can not assign any records to him/her, correct? 

Just want to check that my logic is correct, that only "Salesforce" type users can own records.  Are there any other type of user Licenses that can own records?

It all depends on your security settings.  But yes, chatter users can own records.  Inactive users can own records.

But as an admin, you can control who can create records (thus own records).

Thx.
