Glossary Entry: Shareware
Definition
This is a common software license, and an unusually permissive one.
Shareware games allow you to play and distribute (ie, share) part of the game - usually the first episode or chapter - as much as you want for free. However, to gain access to the rest of the game, you'll need to buy it.
