Answer:
False
Explanation:
Freeware is any software that is distributed for use at a price of zero. However, freeware may not be "free software". The Free Software Foundation defines free software as software that gives its users the freedom to share, study and modify it. It has no copyright or other restrictions for distributing, modifying and using the software in any way.
For example, a software developer may choose to make her software available for download and use on her website. This software may be freeware if downloaded for personal use but commercial use may require a fee. In either case, if it is prohibited to freely distribute (for any purpose) or modify the software, then this freeware is not free software.
