Software Protection
Computer software is protected
by copyright. Not only the code, itself, but also
the resulting images, the look and feel, and other
non-functional aspects. Copyright
registration is important
for a number of reasons, and it can be complex. Most
software developers do not want to publish their
code; they want to keep it as a trade
secret. Likewise,
software is not very valuable if it is not licensed.
Software
license agreements, Master
service agreements, and software service agreements,
are just some of the types of contracts used in software
protection, and they can be very complex. Digital
rights management (DRM), GNU, and open source issues
come into play, also.
