public domain softwarePrograms that are uncopyrighted because their authors intended to share them with everyone else are in the public domain. The UNIX community has developed a number of such programs over the years. Programs in the public domain can be used without restriction as components of other programs.

Also see shareware , which is programming that is "free" but more or less on a trial basis, and freeware .
