Shareware or freeware.
It means freeware software
It is usually called "open source" software.
Usually software's have a licensed while which tells you about this. Freeware is free for unlimited usage and time. Shareware restricts number of usages and may be time bounded.

Software, Shareware and Freeware
Shareware means is is only trial version you need a license key to activate the software. Freeware is always free to use with full features.
Freeware is software that is totally free. The author (provider) does not charge a user to use the software. Shareware is similar. You can use the software free for a time, but then the author requests payment.
If you are needing IT software but don't want to pay for there are a few different sites you can check out. The first site is IT Shareware. IT Shareware carries software from shareware to games to MP3s. Another excellent site is CNet. CNet offers both freeware and software you must pay for, but searching for the freeware is pretty simple.
Open source, Freeware, Shareware, and Bundleware.
Nearly all of it. Shareware and Freeware would be exceptions.
Freeware is completely free. You can download it and use it forever without paying anything. If, after downloading and using shareware for a short time, you continue to use it, you are expected to pay the author for it. It has become, what I consider, a fraudulent practice nowadays for shareware vendors to make limited trial versions of their software, (limited time, limited features, etc.) and call it Freeware when it's just a severely crippled version of their shareware. So, it's become difficult to separate real freeware from the fraudulent ads.
