'''Software''' fundamentally is the unique ''image'' or representation of physical or material alignment that constitutes configuration to or functional identity of a [[machine]], usually a [[computer]]. As a content of [[memory (computers)|memory]], software in principle can be changed without the adjustment to the static [[paradigm]] of the [[hardware]] thus without the remanufacturing thereof. Commonly software is of an [[algorithm|algorithmic]] form which translates into being to a sequence of machine [[machine code|instructions]]. Some software, however, is of a [[relation (mathematics)|relational]] form which translates into being the [[graph (mathematics)|map]] of a ''realization'' [[digital network|network]] (see [[VHDL]]).

==License==
 
==License==
[[Software license]] gives the user the right to use the software in the licensed environment, some software comes with the license when purchased off the shelf, or OEM license when bundled with hardware. Software can also be in the form of [[freeware]] or [[shareware]].

==Patents==
  −
The issue of [[software patents]] is very controversial, since while [[patent]]s protect the ideas of "[[inventor]]s," they are widely believed to hinder [[software development]]. See [[Hacker ethic]].
