Third-party software? Can you give examples? It doesn't count if the same organization (company, etc) created the hardware and the programming. It also doesn't count if it's hobbyists reprogramming their own units. I'm looking for examples of *third-party* software, of the sort that can today be saleable, but which - in this proposed alternate universe where copyright does not exist - would by force be given away for nothing.
