With the advent of the age of knowledge economy, the content of science and technology embodied in the social wealth is ever increasing. Software has subsequently grown into an independent commodity and is now being commercialized. The feature of intangibility of software which is in no way comparable to the hardware that is tangible often makes people ignore its existence and thus forms several erroneous zones.
