free CDFs and non-free CDFs (see discussion here)?

What are the differences between CDFs intended for Mathematica Player or Player pro, i.e.

Is there any difference (and if so, what) between Mathematica Player, Player Pro and the browser plugin?.

What exactly happens when only the dynamic output is selected and deployed (and not the whole document) to CDF via the wizard? What is the difference between deploying only the output or deploying the whole notebook, but with all the code cells being hidden? What is the technical difference between demonstrations and CDFs?.

Does SaveDefinitions work with packaged functions as well?

Can I deploy the dynamic output somehow without piling all the used functions and data into the DynamicModule-s body or Initialization option? Manipulate has the option SaveDefinitions but DynamicModule does not.

Can I use DynamicModule in a CDF that is to be viewed by the plugin or the Mathematica Player? Does it always have to be a Manipulate in focus in the dynamic interface that is generated?.

I expect users to only have the browser plugin or Mathematica Player, but not Player Pro. I have a quite large project that I want to deploy to the web.

I now posted my findings as an answer, but please feel free to edit this post or my answer below if you know something useful. Since more and more issues are revealed as I venture deeper into the world of CDF, I decided to make this thread more general and hopefully more useful.
