I know that "shareware" is called "partagiciel" in french ("parta" is short for "partage" (share) and "giciel" is short for "logiciel" (software)). But I don't know any other french term for freeware other than "logiciel gratuit" (free software).

>I don't know much French, but I wonder: has the Académie Française tried to come up with more Francophone computer terms? I have to think they wouldn't like the look of a word like "freeware".
