How is freeware drifferent shareware?

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.
