	Even in Linux world "freeware" doesn't imply neither GPL nor ability to 
redistribute binaries; it (often but not always) imply that the 
program have source code available, you can modify and redistribute it (along 
with the binaries if you wish).
	However, in Windows world word "freeware" always imply that you can download 
and use the software free of charge and that's all. A lot of additional 
restrictions may be made by author(s) of the software.
	According to Wikipedia: "The *only* criterion for being classified 
as "freeware" is that the software must be made available for use for an 
unlimited time at no cost" [1].
