Has anybody else been confused by this? When submitting an app to the appdb, I'm often flummoxed by what to put in the license field. I'm usually looking for something that means "Closed source, free to download, but not redistributable" (like e.g. http://labs.adobe.com/misc/terms_of_use.html ) but the only choices are: Retail, Open Source, Freeware, Demo, Shareware.
"Freeware" might be the closest of the bunch, but it implies GPL or at least the ability to redistribute binaries (i.e. the other meaning of the word Free).
That's a good point; I didn't think about what freeware implied when making the choices.
Is there a way to make this clearer? Maybe "nonredistributable freeware"?

What about 'free to use'?
