- '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'#39'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'#39't use the'
- 'product, you don'#39't pay for it.'
