What is Shareware?


From my dictionary (Chambers): software distributed on the basis that a regular user will pay for it

Note that not all shareware is delivered free of charge (e.g. it may on CD's that are purchased, perhaps as part of the price of a computer magazine, or it may come from a subscription download service).

according to this. it says that shareware can be redistributed. now my concern is when people package mirc with their scripts. is it really an infringment of the TOS "Terms of Serivce"?? as long as the copy of mirc still asks the party who uses the package to pay?


The author is of course entitled to set the CONDITIONS for redistribution - which is what Khaled does. It is a condition of using mIRC (whether registered or not) that it is not distributed together with scripts; to do so IS therefore an infringement of the Terms of Service. This is a completely separate issue to asking downloaders to pay for mIRC.
