postcardware
Shareware that borders on freeware, in that the author
requests only that satisfied users send a postcard of their
home town or something. (This practice, silly as it might
seem, serves to remind users that they are otherwise getting
something for nothing, and may also be psychologically related
to real estate "sales" in which $1 changes hands just to keep
the transaction from being a gift.)
