Welcome
to charity-ware.org!
Charityware
(c-ware) is any software that supports charity. Some developers ask that proceeds from the
sale of software be donated to charity, while others license or donate their
software directly to charity.
|
Each month, we will highlight a
different software product
and the charity that it supports.

|
At charity-ware.org, all of the
software is 'try-before-you-buy.' Just download the software
you want. If you like it, return to 'buy' the software by
making a donation to a worthwhile charity.

In general, charityware
(a.k.a. careware or c-ware) is any software that supports charity.
At charity-ware.org, we promote any and all types of
charityware,
including;
|
|
|
- Free charityware
is completely free. You are under no obligation to
donate money, but are encouraged to do so.
|
|
|
- Open-Source charityware
is free and the software's source code is
available. Users are allowed to change the code and
pass along the modified version. Again,
users are encouraged to make a donation.
Examples include Vim
and XPlanet.
|
| |
- Commercial charityware
is software for which the proceeds are
split between the developing company and a supported
charity. Charity-ware.org reports the
percentage of proceeds that go to charity.
|
| |
- Donated
software is software that is licensed free to charities.
This great idea was suggested by Rick
Jelliffe and we're still looking for a term to describe
this 'Different Kind of Charityware'.
