Correct me if I'm wrong, kostenlos==free of charge? as in beer?
Maybe the term you want is "freeware" which is not in the public domain,
and can have any number of license restrictions, but doesn't cost $ to
use. In the above context, perhaps you mean trialware (which is usually
no charge). Trialware is usually a crippled version of the full (paid
for) application.
Optionally we could adopt "kostenlos" as we have "kaput," "dumkopf," and
"blitzkrieg." Unlike the French, English speakers have no problem
using/stealing the words that best do the job. :-)
