Does someone know what "green" software is?

Hello guys,

I guess the title is enough. Hope someone can tell what the anwser is.

Thanks!

I think it is a google misstranslation...
i encounter 'green' software most of the time on chinese sites and it is in .rar or .zip archives.
My conclusion was that it means eighther 'unfinished' or 'install by hand'.
but i would like to know too

I thought that it's a misstranslation, too... Your conclusion is not so bad i think. Hope someone can tell us the correct translation!

the chinese "green software" simply means "copy & play", no installation needed.
it also means no reg changes, no harm to your system
