Freeware refers to software that is available for use at no cost, typically without any limitations on functionality. Unlike open-source software, which often comes with access to the source code, freeware is distributed in compiled form only. While users can download and use freeware without paying, they usually do not have the right to modify or redistribute the software. Freeware often serves as a way for developers to showcase their skills, gain exposure, or promote other products or services. Examples of freeware include utility tools, games, and basic productivity software, offering users a cost-effective solution for various computing needs.
