- DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
-
- Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying
- it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected
- to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request
- registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period.
- With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using
- the software to an updated program with printed manual.
-
- Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the
- copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as
- stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like
- commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both
- cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the
- method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
- and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific
- group. For example, some authors require written permission before a
- commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
-
- Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find
- software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or
- Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because
- you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low
- also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use
- the product, you don't pay for it.
