Shareware is a type of proprietary software which is provided (initially) free of charge to users, who are allowed and encouraged to make and share copies of the program, which helps to distribute it. Shareware is often offered as a download from an Internet website or as a compact disc included with a magazine.
There are many types of shareware, and while they may not require an initial up-front payment, all are intended to generate revenue in one way or another. Some limit use to personal non-commercial purposes only, with purchase of a license required for use in a business enterprise. The software itself may be limited in functionality or be time-limited. Or it may remind you that payment would be appreciated.
Shareware is available on all major personal computer platforms. Titles cover a very wide range of categories including: business, software development, education, home, multimedia, design, drivers, games, and utilities. Because of its minimal overhead and low cost, the shareware model is often the only one practical for distributing non-free software for abandoned or orphaned platforms such as the Atari ST and Amiga.
She graduated high school I bought her a trailer
In a little park by the side of the road
I could've had the army, I could've had the navy
But no, I had to go for a mobile home
Yeah I guess, I gave it all for you, babe
There wasn't room in that trailer for two, babe
I kept up with my interest, I kept up with my payments
She never said goodbye, I never asked why
Man, we used to dance to Lynyrd Skynyrd
Boy she used to look so good at times
But I guess, I gave it all to you, babe
There's not room in no trailer for two, babe
Well I guess, I gave it all for you, babe
