Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shareware is distributed free of charge for a trial period, after which the user is expected to pay for continued use. It is still copyrighted software, but it differs from freeware in that there is an expectation of payment after a certain trial period. Public domain software is not copyrighted, and can be used or distributed freely. Open source software is typically free and the source code is available for modification and distribution. Custom software is software that is created specifically for a particular user or organization, and is not generally distributed to the public.
