freeware
Computer programs that are copyrighted, but they may be legally copied if there is no payment involved. They are almost the same as public domain programs, but public domain programs are not copyrighted and may be sold for payment. Freeware programs often can not be changed when they are distributed. See also public domain, shareware, copyright.
