Definition:Category with Products

Definition
Let $\mathbf C$ be a metacategory.

Then $\mathbf C$ is said to have products or to be a (meta)category with products :


 * For all sets of objects $\CC \subseteq \mathbf C_0$, there is a product $\ds \prod \CC$ for $\CC$.

Also known as
Some authors, sensibly perhaps, say $\mathbf C$ as above has small products.
