Freeware is a dangerous name; Peter used "public domain" in his mail.
This is less ambiguous among software developers, but since the term is
undefined in many legislations (I think it's only defined in english and
derived legislation) it should be clarified. A statement like
This software is in the public domain. You may freely use, modify
and/or distribute it.
is common. It would be good if you could ask Peter whether he agrees
with that.
