Differentiate between proprietary and freeware software

Answer» Proprietary software is software that is owned by an individual or a company (usually the one that developed it). There are almost always major restrictions on its use, and its source code is almost always kept secret.Source code is the form in which a program is originally written by a human using a programming language and prior to being converted to machine code which is directly readable by a computer\'s CPU (central processing unit). It is necessary to have the source code in order to be able to modify or improve a program.Software that is not proprietary includes free software and public domain software. Free software, which is generally the same as open source software, is available at no cost to everyone, and it can be used by anyone for any purpose and with only very minimal restrictions.
