| | Software - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch |
| | In computer science and software engineering, computer software is all information processed by computer system, programs and data. | | | Computer software (or simply software) refers to one or more computer programs and data held in the storage of a computer for some purpose. | | | Program software performs the function of the program it implements, either by directly providing instructions to the computer hardware or by serving as input to another piece of software. |

| | Open-source software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Software developers may want to publish their software with an open-source software license, so that anybody may also develop the same software or understand how it works. | | | There have been instances where software vendors have sloppily labeled their proprietary software as "open source" because it interfaces with popular open source software (such as Linux), despite it not being open source software itself; this confusing practice is discouraged. | | | Developers have used the term Free/Open-Source Software (FOSS), or Free/Libre/Open-Source Software (FLOSS), consequently, to describe open-source software that is freely available and free of charge. |

| | The freedom definition of "free software" has been championed by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) of notable software author Richard Stallman, who codified his philosophy of software freedom in the 1980s. | | | Much free software can run on non-free platforms such as Microsoft Windows, and non-free software can be run on free platforms, although purists prefer to use all-free software running on a free platform such as Linux. | | | The Debian Project, which produces an operating system completely composed of free software, created a set of guidelines called which are used to evaluate the freedom of a license before including software licensed like that into Debian. |

| | Free software - encyclopedia article about Free software. |
| | Libre software is a term for free software. | | | Freedom from such restrictions is central to the concept of "free software", such that the opposite of free software is proprietary software, and not software which is sold for profit, such as commercial software. | | | More specifically, free software means that computer users have the freedom to cooperate, and to control the software they use. |

| | As software is developed and deployed, it is extremely common for multiple versions of the same software to be deployed in different sites, and for the software's developers to be working privately on updates. | | | Software developers sometimes use revision control software to maintain documentation and configuration files as well as source code. | | | Software tools for revision control are increasingly recognized as being necessary for most software development projects. |

| | Patents have played havoc with free software already. | | | Unisys had obtained a patent on the LZW data compression algorithm, which is one part of generating GIF format, and refuses to permit free software to use LZW (2). | | | But most software developers, as well as users, lose from software patents, which do more to obstruct software progress than to encourage it. |

| | Software patents are patents that cover software ideas, ideas which you would use in developing software. | | | This is why software patents tend to obstruct the progress of software- the work of software development. | | | All software developers are threatened by software patents and even software users are threatened by software patents. |

| | Both the hardware and bundled software, including the operating system, are manufactured by Apple Computer, whereas Microsoft supplies their software to original equipment manufacturers, including Dell, HP and IBM, who make the hardware using a wider range of components. | | | With the release of Intel-based Macintosh computers, the potential to natively run Windows based operating systems on Apple hardware is introduced, without the need for software such as Virtual PC. | | | Production of the Macintosh is based upon a vertical integration model (the IBM PC was originally conceived as using this too, though Microsoft was able to retain the rights to its software), in that Apple facilitates all aspects of its hardware, and creates its own operating system, the same method used in gaming consoles. |
