FWIW:
"computer program" means an expression, in any language, code or
notation, of a set of instructions (whether with or without related
information) intended, either directly or after either or both of the
following:
(a) conversion to another language, code or notation;
(b) reproduction in a different material form;
to cause a device having digital information processing capabilities
to perform a particular function.
