Freeware

Freeware is typically proprietary, distributed without source code, and carries a restrictive license. For example, a license might allow the software to be freely copied, but not sold, or might forbid commercial, government or military use.

Freeware is computer software which is made available free of charge and is not free to be used, copied, studied, modified and redistributed. This contrasts with "free software" (also called libre software or "free as in speech" software) which can be used, copied, studied, modified and redistributed but might not be free of charge.

The term freeware was coined by Andrew Fluegelman when he wanted to distribute a communications program named PC-Talk that he had created but for which he did not wish to use traditional methods of distribution because of their cost. Previously, he held a trademark on the term "freeware" but this trademark has since been abandoned. Fluegelman actually distributed PC-Talk via a process now referred to as shareware.
