I agree with you that this statement is potentially redundant if one uses the "non-hardware" definition of software. However, given that Creative Commons intentionally targets non-programs, and given that not everyone uses "software" to mean "any set of bits", I think it is preferable to use the potentially-redundant "software and other content" rather than the potentially-too-narrow "software". I believe the latter has more potential for confusion than the former. - Josh Triplett
