Not going to do the research for you.

I find it very had to believe that MapSource is freeware. It may be free, but that is not the same as freeware, especially when it comes to redistribution.

It does not matter though. We cannot currently make any software portable that is not open source.

Please review this topic: https://portableapps.com/node/4507

EDIT: This is not even the program it is just an update to the software. See below:
* WARNING: This software will not work unless you already own a MapSource product.
* This version of MapSource no longer supports Windows 98, Windows Me, and Windows NT.
* Works with Windows Vista.

freeware = no charge open

freeware = no charge open source = open source

having no charge is the same as freeware. freeware just means there is no cost for it, it doesnt necessarily mean it is completely free (no restrictions).

Actually

Open Source=Free=Gnu/GPL Freeware=Freeware(OSS) Freeware(CSS)=Comercial Freeware=Closed Source

English:Open Source is a special type of Freeware which can be altered and redistributed, while Closed Source is the other type of Freeware which can be redistributed, but not altered.
