Any computer software seen on TV shows (such as NCIS or CSI) that can seamlessly and instantly connect different, unrelated systems that would never integrate in the real world to find an answer to a problem.

is the term commonly used on continental Europe, and increasingly in other non-anglophone areas for Free & Open-Source Software/Code.
Anglophones sometimes have arguments over "free" v. "open" (libre, gratis, abierto...); the continentals don't waste their time.
The Spanish sometimes say codigo abierto (open code) too when referring to this concept.
See free software and FOSS.
FOSS, FLOSS, open-source, free software are all covered by software libre.
Examples of products: Linux, the Apache web server, Firefox

The act of illegally copying and distributing commercial software. Software piracy can range from simply letting a friend "borrow" a CD-ROM to actually selling pirated software and passing it off as genuine.
Software companies employ various methods to fight piracy, including product activation and CD keys.
My friend let me borrow his Office CD; I accepted, even though this was software piracy.
Those guys selling copies of Windows Vista Ultimate for $15 a copy are guilty of software piracy.
