In addition to myself.

The big problem is most people regard Freeware and Free Software as just a mispelling of the same license.This is a huge misunderstanding.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeware    gives a nice explanation of the differences.

You might also check https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_software to compare.

Have fun

Hi

In addition to Alan's answer and a bit philosophical:

The word FREE comes from Freedom, not Free of charge. You can read a nice explanation of it in:  

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

From this page:

A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms:

• The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
• The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
• The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
• The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
  

Have fun
