public domain
Of all the kinds of software or information you can download, public domain has the fewest strings attached. With shareware, you're expected to pay a fee. With freeware, you may face other restrictions, and there's still a copyright attached. With public domain downloads (also called downloads in the pubic domain), there are no copyright restrictions whatsoever. |
