Shareware

     Shareware is a marketing technique that allows and encourages free sharing or copying of programs as a method of distribution. This practice benefits both users and developers. Users can test programs and become familiar with them before deciding whether to buy them. Shareware programs are usually less expensive than commercial software because there is very little advertising expense; most of the price you pay actually goes to the developer. However, none of this would be possible if the users did not do their part by paying for the programs they decide to use. We who write shareware depend on the good faith of you, the user, for our profit. When you pay for this and other shareware programs, you allow developers to continue making high quality, low-cost software available to everyone.
