Second Week Class: Original and licensing software

Assalamualaikum and have a good day guys!
apparently not everybody have a good day right?huhuhu..having a short semester was really challenging and it demands us an 'all out' boast energy.. 


well, for the second week class, we have been told to work in pair and i with my partner, norsyuhada che muda, done the topic of original and licensing software..


~google courtesy~



truly speaking, i really 'blind' with this IT things..well, does not mean if you sitting in front of your beloved laptop or computer all day long, you will be expert in this IT things..haha



at first, i'm  kind of mixed up the original software with the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer), after got a clearer view about this topic then i get the real meaning of it.
original software of software means  "Organized information in the form of operating systems, utilities, programs, and applications that enable computers to work." (credit to  http://www.businessdictionary​.com/definition/software.html) . it is functioning like a hardware in your computers, without it your computer would not functioning. it is also consist of system software ( consists of operating systems; devise drivers, servers, windowing systems and utilities) and application software (malware, adware and spyware, also greyware)
~google courtesy~

for licensing software, it means a contract  of agreement between the software publisher and the end user. or also called EULA ( End User License Agreement) from my understanding, the agreement is only from the software publisher and the user, meaning the user get the license to use the software, not owning it. usually when users installed this software, they will ask if the users agree with the license or not. but most of us, just agreed with it without read the contract..with this the hidden malicious like spyware can step in the software. so to avoid any disruption in the system, read the license before agreed to the term given. i guess that's all from me for the second week of class. sorry for the late update..
