Definition of shareware and other types of software licensing.
Shareware is a type of proprietary software that is initially shared by the owner for trial use at little or no cost. Often the software has limited functionality or incomplete documentation until the user sends payment to the software developer. Shareware is often offered as a download from a website or on a compact disc included with a magazine.
Freeware is fully-featured software distributed at no cost to the user but without source code being made available
Free and open-source software (FOSS) is software where the source code is freely available for anyone to inspect. Alternation and redistribution of altered FOSS usually has some restrictions which are done via copyrights.
Proprietary opensource : is software where the source code is made available to some or all to inspect. Disclosure to other parties, alteration and redistribution of proprietary opensource is not allowed in any way.
Commercial software : is software where only the executable is provided to paying customers. Disassembly and reverse engineering is disallowed via copyrights and licensing agreements. Even use can be restricted via licensing.
Trial commercial software : is commercial provided only as a demo. Some features might be missing or limited also in the demo.
