How do you call software that is not shareware but not totally free either?


For example, Sublime Text 2. It's free but, time after time, not too often though, it pops up a dialog asking to purchase the bugging-free version. Is there a name for this type of software distribution model.


Solution

  • Usually this type of software is called "Nagware" because it nags you to pay money. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagware.
