Software types:
Any software has two forms: It's source code and it's executable binary form.
- For binary form of a software, which has some copyright and is released under some form of software licence, there are main two licencing schemes : Proprietory software and Free Software
- For the source code of the software (both proprietory and free), there are different protection mechanisms, ranging from unprotected public licence to completely protected trade secret.
- FreeWare
- ShareWare
