Freeware and Shareware
Public Domain/Freeware: These are computer programs that may be freely copied and distributed by anyone.

Shareware: This refers to programs that you may legally copy and try for free. If you decide to keep a shareware program that you have copied, you must mail the producer of the program the purchase price for the program. Shareware is a simple, inexpensive way to try before you buy, but it only works as long as everyone follows the rules and pays for programs they keep.
