Well... there is precedent. comp.binaries.ibm.pc accepts shareware
packages. Note that I don't completely agree with the idea of shareware
packages being posted to anything besides a newsgroup created to pass
commercial traffic.
Perhaps biz.shareware?

(C) is meaningless, btw. I think he meant "Copyright" or <c-in-a-circle>.
And why does just about every copyright notice scream at you in allcaps?
Is there some legal reason?
If I wish to use "THIS DATA" to line my birdcage, do I still need to
send Ken $15? :-)
