Modding From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Modding is a slang expression for the act of modifying a piece of hardware or software to perform a function not intended by someone with legal rights concerning that modification.

In the United States, the DMCA has set up stiff penalties for modding. In the European Union, member states have agreed the EU Copyright Directive and are transposing it into national law. A man was convicted in the United Kingdom in July 2005 for selling a modded Xbox with built in software and games. [edit] Multi user licensing Computer systems, hardware, software is often sold or licensed to one home machine, to a business that has many computers, a government agency, or non- profit organization. When the software license says that it is for a specific person, then it is not legal for that software to be used by some other person on that same computer, even a member of the same family, or another employee of the same company. For more than one person to be using that software or hardware, they need to have a multi-user license, that usually dictates how many different people may use it. [edit] Derivative Software Some software is licensed with a copy of the program source code supplied along with the executable code in which the license specifically authorizes changes to the supplied software. This is a common standard in business software packages. Hundreds of thousands of computer programmers in some nations have jobs because businesses want the purchased software tailored to the specific needs of the individual businesses. Most every major city has want ads in the newspaper where there are job openings for people to modify some company's computer systems, where the ad specifies what programming languages or operating systems the applicant needs to know. Derivative software is where licensed copyrighted software can be used in whole or in part in new programs written by programmers at the businesses using the licensed software. It is important to copy the copyright notices into the source code where the code was copied, and keep track of all such places, because if the license is permitted to expire, then the business loses all rights to use the software, including any place to which it was copied. Typically a fee must be paid each year to keep the license in effect, and over time, the software supplier can increase the fees to the point that the business chooses to convert to some other commercial software that seems to be more cost effective. It is not unusual in business software to find programs that have many different copyright notices, each referring to different sources of the derived source code.
