The term &ldquo;software industry&rdquo; encourages people to imagine that software is always developed by a sort of factory and then delivered to &ldquo;consumers.&rdquo; The free software community shows this is not the case. Software businesses exist, and various businesses develop free and/or nonfree software, but those that develop free software are not run like factories.
