Freeware is programming that is offered for your use at no cost,
monetary or otherwise.
You may use freeware for as long as you wish. However, it is usually
copyrighted so that you can't incorporate its programming into anything
you may be developing. The least restrictive examples of freeware are
uncopyrighted programs in the public domain.
Freeware is simply written by generous people whose main rewards are
the satisfaction of knowing that they are both helping other people and
making other people happy.
At one time, "freeware" was a trademark of Andrew Fluegelman, the
author of the well-known MS-DOS communication program PC-TALK III. The
trademark wasn't enforced after his mysterious disappearance and
presumed death in 1984. However, the name has evolved to the current
meaning above.
and how does it work?

Depends on the program and what you want to use it for.

I can't tell you what Freeware is, but I know it when I see it.

Unfortunately, no one can be told what the Freeware is. You have to
see it for yourself. ;)
