Freeware is NOT pirated,but 'free to user'. Open source freeware may be be changed by the user. I think Hiren's Bootdisc is open source.
I find it hard to tell when you're serious. If you are,you just made yourself look ignorant. [yet again].
There are thousands of freeware applications and an entire OS with all its applications which is open source; LINUX.

Quote:Open-source software (OSS) is computer software that is available in source code form for which the source code and certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under a software license that permits users to study, change, and improve the software. Open source licenses often meet the requirements of the Open Source Definition. Some open source software is available within the public domain. Open source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-source development and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open content movements.[1] The term open-source software originated as part of a marketing campaign for free software.[2] A report by Standish Group states that adoption of open-source software models has resulted in savings of about $60 billion per year to consumers.[3][4]
