A slight correction and addendum: It is Thorsten Lemke, not
Thorsen, and the asterisk on the "practically without any restrictions*"
part tells about the delay on starting up and batch mode being
disabled.
Go back to GraphicConverter's developer's website,
<http://www.lemkesoft.com/>,
and pay attention to the testimonials animation on the left margin.
Eventually you'll see "I used GraphicConverter for free for two
years before buying a license." Follow the link to the
GraphicConverter product page, you'll see the phrase, "And the best is
that you can test our award-winning software practically
without any restrictions* at your leisure until you decide to make
the purchase. "
So it looks like Thorsen Lemke is fine with people using
GraphicConverter for as long as it takes for them to decide to
buy a license.

I have run across a number of shareware apps over
time that are actually fully functional and completely
unrestricted in any way even if a fee is not paid.
Right, but even if the software is fully functional, the user could
still be
in violation of the license agreement. My point is really that
shareware
users should be aware of what the license permits after the trial
period is
up. The fact that it keeps working doesn't mean that it's legal to
use it.
Again, I'm not bring this up to chastise you guys in any way. I'm
just
pointing out that this is a very common misunderstanding about
shareware in
general.
