What I'd like to do is have my own website where people can download my
software and register it.  At the same time, I'd like to post it on PalmGear
and Handango.  In the "About" dialog it would have a blurb that says
"register at www.blahblah.com."  When they go there, I'd direct them to my
yahoo store, or whereever.  Of course if they downloaded it from Handango
and then went back there to register, they could and Handango would take
whatever percentage they wanted, which is okay, but hopefully after
downloading from Handango and then loving my program, they'd read the
"register at www.blahblah.com" and I could keep all of the proceeds.
Both PalmGear and Handango require that shareware versions of your applications that are downloaded from their sites direct users back to their sites to register the software. I think this is fair -- would you expect WalMart to let you sell a product in their store that had a tag on it telling you to go to KMart to buy the product?
