n. A kind of 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.
