Agree. :)
re Freeware and the definition thereof. . .
After a little Googling it appears that most definitions of Freeware are
either lame or *very* lame (Wikipedia). . .
I just made a few changes in the ACF/PL web pages that should result in
a higher placement on the search engines when people search for
"freeware glossary" or "freeware definition".
Additional links to the pricelesswarehome.org web site and the ware
glossary web page would also help - if you haven't linked please
consider doing so.
FWIW. . .
freeware glossary - the number one spot is currently held by:
http://www.sharpened.net/glossary/definition.php?freeware
"Like shareware, freeware is software you can download, pass around, and
distribute without any initial payment. However, the great part about
freeware is that you never have to pay for it. No 30 day limit, no demo
versions, no disabled features -- it's totally free. Things like minor
program updates and small games are commonly distributed as freeware.
Though freeware does not cost anything, it is still copyrighted, so
other people can't market the software as their own."
freeware glossary - the number one spot is currently held by:
<http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&defl=en&q=define:Freeware&sa=X&oi=glossary_definition&ct=title>
The above is a links page - "Definitions of Freeware on the Web"
the first link's definition:
"Freeware
Software that is available free of charge for personal use."
