freeware
Freeware refers specifically to software distributed at no cost, but it is distinct from open-source software. While open-source software allows users to view and modify the source code, freeware typically remains proprietary, meaning the developer retains ownership and the code is hidden from the user.
Because it is an uncountable mass noun, it does not take a plural form. To refer to individual programs, users must employ partitive constructions such as a piece of freeware or a freeware application.
