Freeware is computer software that is made available free of charge, but which is copyrighted by its developer, who retains the rights to control its distribution, modify it and sell it in the future. It is typically distributed without its source code, thus preventing modification by its users.

whereas open source software
Quote:
Open source software is software whose source code is freely available (i.e., without any requirement for payment or any other obstacles) for anyone to inspect and study.


found on http://www.linfo.org/open_source.html

so there is a difference as you might discover :)

Quote:
Free software is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of free as in free speech, not as in free beer. ...
