- Freeware
- No charge for using the software, but no registration benefits either.
- Shareware
- The software is given out on a trial basis.
If the user enjoys and continues using the software, they are requested to
send some amount of money to the software's creator in order to continue using
it in good conscience. People who meet the requirements are 'registered'
users. Registered users often receive some benefit, such as a full version
with extra features. The only registration benefit I plan to offer at this
time is discounts on registering future software.
- Sillyware
- It's not quite Freeware, it's not quite Shareware.
It doesn't cost you any money, but you are requested to contribute to the
Silly Script archive. Either at least 10 lines to add to or improve any
existing Silly Script, or a Silly Script of your own will do it. This will be
considered registration, but there are no extra benefits at this time.
- Playware
- Another of my inventions. It's kind of like freeware with
registration benefits. In order to qualify, just answer a simple question
which you will find out the answer to in the course of playing the game, if you
enjoyed it enough to get to the point in the game where the question is from.
This will earn you 'registered CGD customer' status, currently good for $5 off
the registration fee of any program with a monetary registration fee of at least
$5.
- Streetware
- Street Musician ~= Online Programmer. The program is free to all, but if you like it, a little money will encourage me to make more cool things. Shareware without the guilt trip.
