Prewritten computer software <br /> includes software designed and developed by the author or other creator to the <br /> specifications of a specific purchaser when it is sold to a person other than such <br /> purchaser. Where a person modifies or enhances computer software of which such person <br /> is not the author or creator, the person shall be deemed to be the author or creator only of <br /> the person's modifications or enhancements. Prewritten computer software or a <br /> prewritten portion thereof that is modified or enhanced to any degree, where such <br /> modification or enhancement is designed and developed to the specifications of a specific <br /> purchaser, remains prewritten computer software; however, where there is a reasonable, <br /> separately stated charge or an invoice or other statement of the price given to the <br /> purchaser for the modification or enhancement, the modification or enhancement shall <br /> not constitute prewritten computer software. <br /> 2.
