All About Freeware

While free software concepts like freeware, shareware, open source, and trialware are relatively common, other lesser-known types can also be found. One of these is called postcardware. Here are some details about what it is…

According to wikipedia.org, the programmer of a postcardware application or game asks that the user mail him or her a postcard. Such programs and software add-ons are otherwise free for anyone to download and use.

Some examples of postcardware include Bome’s Mouse Keyboard, Dan Smith’s Fantasy Fonts, Xmas List, command-line file downloader HTGET, and text editor EditPad Classic. Games of this type also exist, such as Piramidka and Ancient Domains of Mystery.
