Freeware. Freeware: a group for free in software! But it is no Public Domain. It is in copyright, so you are not allowed to change it; so you get what the maker meant with it. Often it is more reliable than Public Domain, as you will understand! A Freeware maker keeps his/her product under control and the maker is the one to decide who is allowed to distribute the software; he/she might even forbid distribution! Freeware can be compared to flying a balloon: the maker tries to focus attention to himself by means of his product. Please note: Freeware is no Public Domain!
