Shareware was different. It was always non-commercial, an individual
sharing his work with others. Generally a donation was requested. Two
reasons why we don't have much shareware any more:

(1) Programming is getting too complicated for individuals to do for fun
(2) Few users actually shared

The first point is interesting. I think I can back it up in many ways,
especially under Windows as the system becomes more and more complex. It
could be a problem for the industry in future.

I'd heard that for good shareware enough users shared to make it very
worthwhile. Maybe it depends on your shareware.
