Free for all!
Freeware is a program that the author or company allows anyone to use without paying for it. WHY? Well, there might be different reasons. Author may want to attract attention to his name or to his product. Sometimes two versions of a product are provided - one is freeware and second is a commercial version with extended features.
Freeware can be a beta version of a program, which means that the program is being tested condition and might contain bugs but is fully functional.
Freeware products are usually subject to license agreements, so read appropriate documents carefully (if any).
Author of freeware might ask you to register a program. This means that you fill out a simple form with some information about yourself. By registering you will usually receive notifications about new versions of the software or other information from the author. Sometimes authors ask you to send a postcard or drop an E-mail message if you like the program and intend to use it.
We check the freeware status of every item before including it in our Collection (except submissions by the authors). If you found an item that is not free it means that it is not free anymore. Please report such items as well as broken links. It will be fixed immediately. Thank you.
