Take a look at the Copyright Status field for the submissions page. shows a complete lack of understanding of copyrights and software:
Copyright Owner - i.e. Owner licensed
Shareware - i.e. Owner licensed
Freeware - i.e. Owner liciensed
The fact that freeware and shareware are just form of propritory copyright owner controlled software is a joke and shows pronom to be a joke too. this list should read:
Proprietary License
Internal not Licensed
Free and Open Source License
Public Domain
I'm sure there are more.
