Software is produced by developers writing in a code (known as the source) which is understand by both developers and computers. Once a finished application has been produced, this code is then compiled into a format which only a computer can understand and is no longer eligible by the developer. When a commercial company sells your business a software application, they generally only sell the complied version.
