It is a general piece of software that anyone could use, such as a word processor or spreadsheet etc. You can go into a shop and buy it. The developers would make lots of copies and sell it as all sorts of people would want it. You also have specialist software which may be written for a specific group of people or a specific company or individual and which would be no use to anyone else. Only one or a few copies might be made as it is for a very specific client.
