About : International Shareware Day was created by former actor and tech talk show host David Lawrence. An open source program owned by the author. It is free for the public to use and is called as shareware. The author provides the program with a hope that the user finds it so useful and he offers to pay for the use of the program. There are literally thousands of shareware programs available. Many are free trial offers with an expiration date unless you pay for the service. Others are free without a time limit. This day reminds shareware users to consider the value of the programs they use and to consider payment for the use.
