shareware

shareware
programs can be distributed freely, but you must pay for these programs if you use them. They usually allow you to try them for a specified period of time, and then either pay for them or get rid of the program. Many BBS's have shareware programs that you can download without paying the BBS, but you must remember that if you use a shareware program you are supposed to pay for it. See also public domain, freeware, commercial software.
