Both money and information are valuable (anyone who thinks information isn't a valuable thing that people will pay for hasn't spent much time in the business world). The requirement for either money or personal info to use this so-called freeware really makes it indeed shareware: you have to pay to use it, and subrosasoft gets something of value in return. You can pay with money or your can pay with information, but you do pay. As a program, it looks interesting (I have downloaded it, but won't go past the nag screen), but it's not worth $5.00 or my real e-mail address. SubRosaSoft, be honest and resubmit this as the shareware that it is. There's nothing wrong with shareware.
