Pirate software
Software companies may offer selected software for free use by home users. Business users may have to buy a licence, or may be allowed to use the software for free, paying annually for support. There is also Open Source software that may be offered for free use, though some open source software may need a licence obtained from the copywrite holder. So "Open Source" doesn't always mean "free!" In the linux world (of which Ubuntu is but one distribution) many programs can be downloaded and used for free, it depends on whether the programmer wants to offer their work for free or not.

Usually it will say something like:Allowed to use in Upto 2 computersTo be used for non-business purposes onlyCannot be sold or modified with the creators explicit written consentThis means that - you can use it in 2 personal computers (not business computers in your office) and you cannot sell the software to anyone.Usually the prices of software licenses for home/personal use are cheaper than the price at which they are sold to businesses and hence they add such a clause in the software that is sold in retail shops.What if we dont follow the licensing agreements?Breaking a software licensing agreement is a crime and the creator of the software can legally prosecute you.

They will do so because, they could have sold 4 more copies of the game if you had not illegally distributed the game to your friends.A point to note here is that, most companies have means and ways to identify such illegal distribution of their software and can track offenders who do so.
