- Michael, I'm sure you meant SHAREWARE here and not PUBLIC DOMAIN, right?
- Shareware software may be legally copied and distributed but the author still
- retains all copyrights and depends on the honesty of the user to remit a
- shareware "registration" fee, if one is requested. Public domain software
- is just that... open to the public for distribution, use and modification.
-
- But then, I'm sure you KNOW all this. :)
-
- BTW, I'd be interested in learning more about your "shareware" offerings and
- what your experience has been in registrations. Email me, please?
