'Experts in the field of software terminology?' lol.
I suppose anyone by your definition , anyone who doesn't read this
newsgroup don't qualify as experts?

You mean don't follow the debates about the definition of freeware *HERE*
on alt.comp.freeware.
I guess we forgot to tell the important tech people who are opinion
leaders that
they need to subscribe and take part in software definition debates in an
obscure alt group to be qualified to talk about how to define software.
:)
Don't get me wrong, I mostly agree with our definitions, but we mustn't
get lost in our own self importance and lose sight of the fact that the
definitions (reasonable as they are to us) are just ours held by some
people on an obscure corner of the internet, and not some wide spread
widely accepted internet standard, that only the ignorant people disagree
with.
