• Why use freeware?

    Why use freeware? Free software is a valid choice for many home computer, office computer and Internet server uses. Freeware comes in two basic types, free software with proprietary (ie private) code, and open-source software. It's important to remember that freeware is not a cheap or second-class option - it can often be functionally superior to equivalent commercial software and even of higher quality. This is possible because of the way software of this type can be developed. As an example, if we look at the Firefox browser, you can see that it is better in perhaps 20 out of 25 measurable parameters, when compared to rival commercial offerings. Such an application is built and developed by a large distributed workforce as opposed to a small centralized one. ...

Free programs tend to be created by one developer or a small localized team, and OSS programs are often built by large distributed teams. Such large team efforts are called projects ...

    Program safety and security Open-source software has another big advantage: it's transparent. The code is public, which means nothing dubious can be inserted in it, and it can't be made to also carry out someone else's agenda. This is immensely useful for users as it cuts out any possibility of applications also running someone else's operations on top of your own, such as reporting on websites visited. This advantage is so great that in areas such as cryptography and security it is recognised that open-source software is the only viable solution. Commercial producers are subject to pressures, ...

  • How do freeware authors earn a living?

    As just seen, there are a variety of business models. The authors give the software away for a number of reasons: The authors are developers who work for commercial ventures in their day jobs, and wish to code something more personally interesting in their spare time Coders like to code, and will find some outlet for their work A developer would rather see an application in wide use, than have the aggravation of trying to sell it, and then have a comparatively small user base Among other developers (who, after all, are the only people who count), a developer gains status by rising in the ranks of top contributors to a well-known project ...
