What is meant by software company in that whole discussion is actually two things (at least): - companies for which software is the sold product (or its support, hosting...) - companies selling a service or a product that requires inhouse made software It could be argued that this second one could be split in two as the software may not be delivered directly to the client but the border is a bit blurry when it is a website/app platform like netflix.
