    Warez in this context is pirated software but it can be used to describe software[anything really] you make yourself: "selling your own warez"

    warez /weirz/ n.

    Widely used in cracker subcultures to denote cracked version of commercial software, that is versions from which copy-protection has been stripped. Hackers recognize this term but don't use it themselves. See warez d00dz, courier, leech, elite.

    Question has been answered, not a lot of point in leaving this thread open.
