SharewareInfo
What is Shareware

Shareware is a marketing method, not a type of software or even strictly just a distribution method. When software is marketed through normal retail channels, you are forced to pay for the product before you've even seen it. The Shareware marketing method lets you try a program before you buy it. Since you've tried the program, you know whether it will meet your needs before you pay it. A Shareware program is just lile a program you find in major stores, catalogs, and other places where software is purchased; except you get to use it, on your own computer, before paying for it.
Why Pay for Software I Already Have ?
Basically, for the same reason you should pay for any program: because it is the honest thing to do. Shareware is commercial software, fully protected by copyright laws. Like other business owners, shareware authors expect to earn money for making their software available. In addition, by paying you may then be entitled to additional functions, removal of time limiting or limits on use, removal of so-called "nag" screens, and other things as defined in the documentation provided by the program's author.

ASP
Association Of Shareware Professionals

Nous adhèrons pleinement aux règles d'or du shareware, telles qu'édictées par l'ASP, ou Association of ShareWare Professionals.
Le shareware, c'est une méthode de distribution des logiciels, pas un type de logiciel.
Si vous utilisez régulièrement certains logiciels, après la période légale d'essai, vous devez impérativement verser la contribution réclamée par l'auteur. Vous en tirerez logiquement certains avantages supplémentaires, selon le logiciel, tels que : documentation imprimée, mise à jour envoyée directement par l'auteur, et caetera.

En 1987, pour pallier l'absence de normes dans le monde du shareware, certains auteurs américains éminents ont fondé l'Association of Shareware Professionals, qui a mis sur pied un code éthique du shareware. Les objectifs principaux de ce code étaient les suivants :
- former le public au principe mercatique du shareware (Try before you buy - Essayez avant d'acheter) ;
- établir un standard d'excellence auquel le travail de programmation, de mise sur le marché, et de suivi technique des membres
  devait obligatoirement répondre.
- encourager le développement du concept du shareware par des groupements d'utilisateurs et des distributeurs acceptant d'en     expliquer la nature.
- aider ses membres à diffuser leurs productions.
- créer un forum de communications réservé aux membres. Ce forum a, entre autres, une existence électronique sur le réseau   CompuServe.

Ainsi, le label ASP,  vous donne la garantie que le programme auquel il est attribué n'est en aucun cas une version bridée, ou limitée de quelque façon que ce soit. L'auteur est tenu d'accuser réception du paiement de votre licence d'utilisation, et de vous assurer une assistance technique de 90 jours.
