There are some software that will always be needed. So you need to focus on one of those and you need to create a guiding organization that will define and rewrite the software as it moves through time. Also, you need to make sure that the guiding organization is properly created so that as it moves through time the software moves too.
I would be willing to bet that Linux is a software package that will be around as long as computers need an OS.
One software that people might not think about is the language COBOL. It's out of date but there are millions of lines of code that companies don't want to rewrite. So a company that could create a compiler that works on the latest hardware would survive many generations.
