Completely missed the point didn't you? If you bought 50 lottery tickets
for a dollar and one of them paid off $5 would you say "I made $5 off the
Lottery." ? If you would, then your statement about making money off 
shareware would, in this limited case, be true. However, at the same time
you would have invalidated any other english speaking persons interpretation
of your statements because of your invalid use of the currently accepted 
syntax. Some day, you will understand, obviously that day is not today.

>Not bad for a slimy pirate, huh?
