Answers from a lawyer or somebody with law knowledge will be great! Some time ago I didn't give a shit about law, now I do! Every program whether freeware or commercial ( which is created by a serious developer) comes with its own EULA/License Agreement that clearly states (or should state) what you can or cannot do with it. It is diferent for each and every program and depends on the will and wishes of the author unless they had decided to license the program under a common licensing scheme (like the GPL license etc for example). You can read here in detail about the different Software Licenses Explained in a SIMPLE and easy to understand manner and also on Wikipedia here .
