Yes.

14) Is its associated more with 'open' software or freeware rather than with strictly paid-for software?
(If 'yes' then someone else needs to ask the next question. I only speak Windows.)

Is it a more of a higher level application (Prime95, a game, fotoshoop, etc.) than an OS or low level utility app (something likely to be called by a script), or some other part of the computer realm?

Not quite either of the two, I think it's somewhere in the middle. Usually not OS or OS-integrated-app, but usually not surface-visible.
Edit: You may ask the next question.
