What is True
Freeware? |
My website and newsletter both specialize in
freeware reviews. My site drew the attention of a great group of people
that fly under the banner of "The
Freeware Revolution". I accepted their invitation to join them and
from now on I promise to make sure I classify any software I review here.
If it's not true freeware, then I'll tell you. We will never tell you that
software is bad because it doesn't meet the conditions below but we do
want to educate everyone on what freeware is. Many websites offer "free
downloads", but it's not the same as freeware. Don't be confused. Read the
definition below.
True Freeware:
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
Does not require payment for access to
support information
Allows you to freely share the program with
friends, family and collegues |
