lists all the software that you will find on the cdrom. All this software is either freeware or shareware. Freeware is absolutely free of charge: you got it free of charge and you can use it free of charge. You can also distribute it to anyone else, provided that you distribute the whole package without any changes and you don't charge for it. Shareware is somewhat different. You can use/evaluate shareware only for a limited period. If you want to keep using it after the evaluation period, you are required to pay a (usually small) license fee. Distribution of shareware software is usually permitted and encouraged, as long as you don't charge for it and you distribute the software without any change.
