Shareware programs are fully functional, trial versions of copyrighted programs.
If you like particular programs, register with their authors for a nominal fee and
receive licenses, enhanced versions, and technical support. Freeware programs are
copyrighted games, applications, and utilities that are free for personal use. Unlike
shareware, these programs do not require a fee or provide technical support. GNU
software is governed by its own license, which is included inside the folder of the
GNU product. See the GNU license for more details.
Trial, demo, or evaluation versions are usually limited by either time or func-

tionality (such as the capability to save projects). Some trial versions are very sen-
sitive to system date changes. If you alter your computer’s date, the programs will
“time out” and no longer be functional.
eBook version of Secure PHP Development
The complete text of this book is on the CD in Adobe’s Portable Document Format
(PDF). You can read and search through the file with the Adobe Acrobat Reader
(also included on the CD).
