FREEWARE DESIGN SOFTWAREFreeware is Software that the Programmer or Company is releasing for Free, don’t remember what your dad told you, some of the best things is sometimes a thing like a Free lunch.
The Software Companies don’t release Software for Free out of the goodness of their hearts forever, they release it for one of the following reasons:
All of the reasons above with the exception of the last one are ok.
If a Company wants to sell you something by letting you test out a Freeware version first, what’s wrong with that ? You never have to upgrade if you don’t want to. It all makes sense.
The only time when it’s bad is when the Company just wants to make money from Adware/Spyware. Many companies will pay the people that produce Freeware to bundle it with some Adware or Spyware. This is why you should try to work out why the company wants to give you the Software for Free.
If the company wants to build a Brand Name, or try to sell another Commercial Product then they are very unlikely to include any Spyware. If they included Spyware then the Company and Software product would get the wrong type of attention.
