No, you're getting confused here "The Freeware" is referring to the
particular set of software concerned, it is not a definition of
Freeware. That explains the confusion, but from now on, please
concentrate on recommending what licensing you would like to see
(not that I think it will affect anyone much, but at least we would
know what you were trying to say). For example, is a restrictive
license like the ADCL acceptable from your point of view, or do you
want to at least conform to the definition of Open Source.
