Ah. Well if the distinction is the one given in Wikipedia, then lots
of software I thought was commercial is really shareware. Here's a
list of stuff I would have considered commercial that are, I guess,
really shareware:

Transmit
OmniOutliner
OmniGraffle
FileMaker
OpenBase
REALbasic

I know there are lots of others.

I'm thinking making the word "shareware" has basically become meaningless.
