software
n. Computer programs, which are protected by copyright under the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988. EU Directive 2009/24 (replacing 91/250) on the legal protection of computer programs provides that all member states must protect computer programs by copyright law. The directive also provides a right to make back-up copies of software and a very limited decompilation right. A right to repair is also included, unless a software licence prohibits this. The UK implemented the directive by the Copyright (Computer Programs) Regulations 1992, which amend the 1988 Act.
