Shareware[edit]

I have re added the sentence saying MacFamilyTree is shareware. Our definition of shareware says:

The term shareware (also known as trialware or demoware) refers to proprietary software that is provided to users without payment on a trial basis and is often limited by any combination of functionality, availability or convenience.

Therefore any software that allows the user to try it without having to pay qualifies as shareware, even if there are limitations, such as in this case the inability to save the project you are working on. If you disagree with me then I will be happy to discuss it here. - EdoDodo ^talk 09:14, 6 July 2010 (UTC) 180.222.30.2 (talk) 09:37, 12 January 2011 (UTC) That's bull dust! That definition of shareware makes nearly every piece of commercial software shareware, including everything by Microsoft! This is simply commercial software, and there's nothing wrong with saying that. Calling it shareware is simply deceptive and that there is a demo, which cannot be used to edit or build your family tree in any way whatsoever, but which allows you to see what features the program will have when you can save your project does not justify calling it shareware any more than it could justify calling Microsoft Windows shareware, because you can use it from whichever source, for a certain amount of time before it will stop working if you don't register and validate it![reply]

Supported platforms and MobileFamilyTree[edit]

Hello concerned Wikipedians,

MacFamilyTree (OS X) and MobileFamilyTree (iOS) obviously contain some shared code but seem to be distinctly marketed products now and are sold at different price points. How should this be referenced within this MacFamilyTree article as far as release versions and other metadata is concerned? What is an appropriate way to encapsulate both products in one article, or should a new one address MobileFamilyTree?

Thanks for any guidance. Pdf1337 (talk) 00:14, 28 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
