| Nov 5, 2016 at 21:56 | comment | added | jimsug | @Rhymoid while that may be true in some cases, it is definitely not always the case. Courts will look at the "heart" or the nature of the agreement, and have variously found that software is and isn't a good - it really depends on the facts, so you can't make this claim without qualifying it. Two such examples: A good - not a good | |

| Sep 15, 2016 at 13:27 | comment | added | Philippe Ombredanne | @jimsug open source software is not really a gift IMHO as there is no active "giving" on the part of the author. The software is just made available for free under an open source license. | |

| Jul 28, 2015 at 10:01 | comment | added | Martijn | Do I understand correctly that 2-314 and 2-315 don't count for software that is given away for free, and not sold, as is often (but not always!) the case? | |
