The software that are available free of cost is called:

  • (A) Openware
  • (B) Hardware
  • (C) Software
  • (D) Freeware
  • Freeware: Software is offered for use without requiring a fee. Although it is free to use, the source code is generally not available for viewing and typically cannot be changed or copied by the user.
  • Open-source Software: Confused often with freeware, open source means that anyone can view, change and improve on the source code of the software (the actual program). Although open source is commonly free, the emphasis is on the ability to change (have access to) the program rather than the actual dollar cost to use it.
  • Shareware: This is software that is first provided for free to allow the user to evaluate the software for a limited period of time. However, the user has an obligation to either pay later on (in full) to continue using the software or pay to have access to certain features once they have evaluated the software.
  • Hardware: This refers to the physical portion of the computer (monitor and keyboard) and is not a type of computer program.
