Important Points
Statement I: "Shareware is limited-functioning freeware, and normally expires after a week or month."
- This statement is true.
- Shareware is software that is freely distributed to users on a trial basis.
- It is typically limited in either functionality or usage time (i.e., it might stop working after a certain period, or some features may be disabled or restricted until the user purchases the full version).
Statement II: "Shareware code can be modified and redistributed."
- This statement is generally false.
- Shareware is often proprietary software.
- Unlike open-source software, users of shareware are not legally allowed to modify and redistribute the code.
- Doing so would typically violate the software license agreement.
- Shareware is meant to be a "try before you buy" model; it is not intended to be freely modified and redistributed.
