Freeware is software which is available for use by anyone or a specified class or group, without payment of any fees. Because it may or may not be in the public domain, it is always safest to assume that a freeware program is protected by copyright even though no fee is charged for its use. In some cases, source code is provided or is freely available. See Open Source
