</I>Note that the definition given for "Shareware" doesn't seem to include
the usual case where the entire software is distributed for usage for a
limited time. After paying a fee, the user is given a code which
permits longer-term usage, and often activates additional functions.
So I would suggest changing the wording from :
"Shareware refers to software of which only a subsidiary portion can be
redistributed without charge; access to the complete package requires
payment to the copyright holder or another body."
to :
"Shareware refers to software redistibutable without charge, which
requires payment to the copyright holder or another body in order to use
beyond a trial period and/or to obtain additional functionality."
Does that sound ok ?
