	Proprietary software - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Proprietary software is software which has been designed and coded by or for a specific person, organization or group of organizations, who hold ownership or intellectual property rights over the software.
		"Proprietary" indicates that some individual or company has exclusive rights in a piece of software as a result of copyright or a patent, which serves to deny legal access to the software's source code by third parties for the purpose of copying or modifying the software.
		As "proprietary" indicates private ownership and control, software can remain proprietary even where source code is released into the public domain, if control over the use, distribution, or modification of the software is retained (e.g., as demonstrated by the commercial version of SSH, or by way of the Microsoft Shared source licence programme).

		Changes in proprietary rights as they relate to agricultural research are particularly relevant to the international agricultural research centers (IARCs) of the CGIAR because of two related developments: First is the increasing importance of biotechnology in the centers’ research.
		Proprietary technologies and materials that were developed by or are under the protection of private-sector research organizations have made important contributions to the centers’ work.
		Given the range of proprietary technologies being used and the potential for limited protection sought for IARC developments, guidelines for managing intellectual property at individual centers should be reviewed, and possibilities for a systemwide policy or guidelines considered.
