From time to time there is discussion of what constitutes freeware. I found
the following description at:

Freeware can be defined in only one way..
Software that requires no payments (in any form).
Does not have registration requirements.
Does not come with spyware/adware or other malware bundled inside it.
Has all features 100% fully working.
Does not have time limits. (I.E. Demos or Trials).
Does not require payment for access to support information.
Allows you to freely share the program with friends, family and colleagues.

They also have a nicely arranged selection of freeware which complies with
these requirements.
