Yes there is. Your freeware comes with a long EULA with a whole lot of 
conditions you have to agree to, that most people click through without 
even reading, only for it to bite them later. Like being able to run 
hidden telemetry on your system and harvest your data for their own 
purposes.

Free Software doesn’t try to con you into things you didn’t know you were 
agreeing to.
