If you are selling the code as the product, it could be said to be an “actual” software product, rather than a mechanism for selling other products, or software as a substrate for some other business.
Those other businesses aren’t any less valid, of course. They just aren’t software businesses. They are businesses that (quite sensibly) use software.

- sgammon 20d agoThat’s right, they are. I don’t think I said they weren’t.
- abustamam 21d agoIs Facebook, a company that build software to sell ads, a software company or an ad company? I think its a bit bikesheddy, if not pointless, to try to confine companies to labels like this.
- austin-cheney 20d agoAbsolutely an ad company, 100% without question.
