The problem with that is that I don't like to recommend shareware to
people unless there's a reasonable chance that they would register it.
I've found that students (and most people actually) just download it and
use it without paying the license fee. I feel that when you use
shareware there should be at least a pretense that if the software is
good enough for you that you will actually register it. In this case,
the students will be using it one or two times only (at least for my
class). That's why I'd prefer a free program.

I don't think Mr. Lemke would mind your students using it for a minimal
amount of time, but I don't presume to speak for him. Why don't you
email him if you feel otherwise? It seems to me that a GraphicConverter
download could be a great time for you to speak about shareware morality.
I can't remember whether there are software penalties other than a long
startup if it's not registered. <http://www.lemkesoft.de/en/index.htm>
