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
