Freeware
2 stories
Freeware appears within Software Types & Licensing as a focused layer with its own requirements, tradeoffs, and compatibility questions. Coverage uses free-to-use software, zero-cost proprietary software, free software distribution, and license terms to explain function, setup, support boundaries, and interactions with the rest of the platform. This keeps Freeware narrower than Software Types & Licensing as a whole while giving readers enough context to make configuration or compatibility decisions and recognize when a problem-specific tag is more appropriate.
