Public Domain & Shareware
Programs that have been placed in the public
domain by their authors are free to use, and may be
copied freely by anyone. This is not the case with
Shareware ( often called User-Supported software ).
Basically, the authors of the Shareware retain all
rights to the software under the copyright laws and
simply allow the distribution of their programs
freely or with minimal restricions. In other words,
shareware is NOT free. The idea of Shareware is to try
it for a reasonable trial or test period , if you
decide to use it, you must register with the author.
