No, Linux is not shareware. However, I have seen what it is misrepresented
so many times that I have given up hope of poeple in the popular press
ever getting it right. I guess in most peoples mind software must fall
into one of the following catagories.
1) Commercial
2) Shareware
3) Public domain
Linux is none of the above, but people insist on stuffing it into one of
them.
