i can vouch for fansi being nifty.  however it's not exactly freeware.
binaries and an incomplete manual (leaving out the details of ansi
emulation) are freely distributed via bbs's for trial use.  they rely
on the honor system for getting their royalty payments.  the distinction
is that they really do expect payments, not voluntary contributions.
