Use of the term `freeware' to refer to free (libre) software is a ploy to emphasize the `gratis' nature of free software. In addition, and probably more importantly, it associates even something like gcc or apache with shareware, which to most businesses is low-quality, unmaintained and unsupported software. -- Pax vobiscum; pax cum omnibus.
