Freeware games are games that are released as freeware and can be used, downloaded, and distributed free of charge. Though the phrase free games is often used to refer simply to games that are free of charge, the term free games can also mean games that are released under a Free Software license that permits modification and redistribution of source code. See List of open source games for such games.Games that are free but suggest a donation or fee, or require purchase for extended play time, new content and other features, are shareware.Open source games are computer games assembled out of open-source software and open content.All these titles are free software that are under a license such as the GNU General Public License or other similar licenses. Because the source code is available and modifications can be freely (re)distributed, most of these titles will run on many platforms.For freely available games without a public license, see List of freeware games.
