Dictionary

freeware

Software, often written by enthusiasts and
distributed at no charge by users' groups, or via the
World-Wide Web, electronic mail, bulletin boards,
Usenet, or other electronic media.

At one time, "freeware" was a trademark of {Andrew
Fluegelman}. It wasn't enforced after his death.

"Freeware" should not be confused with "free software"
(roughly, software with unrestricted redistribution) or
"shareware" (software distributed without charge for which
users can pay voluntarily).

Dictionary

freeware
n.

[common] Freely-redistributable software, often written by
enthusiasts and distributed by users' groups, or via electronic mail,
local bulletin boards, Usenet, or other electronic media. As the
culture of the Internet has displaced the older BBS world, this term
has lost ground to both open source and free software; it has
increasingly tended to be restricted to software distributed in
binary rather than source-code form. At one time, freeware was a
trademark of Andrew Fluegelman, the author of the well-known MS-DOS
comm program PC-TALK III. It wasn't enforced after his mysterious
disappearance and presumed death in 1984. See shareware, FRS.
