Freeware

free software available for downloading from a wide variety of Websites.
There are several reasons the software is offered free. Freeware, also sometimes
erroneously called shareware, is a limited version of a program that the manufacturer,
distributor or author would like people to purchase. Giving users a
free taste is designed to get them to buy a more comprehensive version. An-other
reason an individual might offer free software on the World Wide Web, or
free anything for that matter, is to drive traffic to a particular Website. Online
revenues are often generated by site traffic, and giving software away is a popular
way of getting visitors. Finally, some people simply want others to experience
their creation and are willing to distribute it freely to accomplish that end.
