That's a better explanation of the exact thing I'm looking to understand better and would like to see some "real world" examples of it.

That’s a better explanation of the exact thing I’m looking to understand better and would like to see some “real world” examples of it.

In software, that would still be a product: some part of a failed "shrinkwrap application" might become a successful "software component product". The buyers would be other software companies / developers who would use such a "component" to afford some features in their products. That said, I can't think of a specific example, but I'm sure there are loads! :) “is there a name for a technology that is licensed into, and becomes a nice feature of, an existing product?”
