But some of those programs (e.g., NoteTabLight) DO have some of the
"Pro" features expire. Your position at the time you made the list
was:

And then you listed the apps, some of which didn't didn't gain enough
votes to make PL2007, but the remaining ones I listed in this thread
did. YOU determined what was put on that list on your own. Further,
you rejected several alternate proposals I made for determining which
liteware apps may be trialware.
The current glossary says:
"Trialware: software which stops working after a period of time or
number of uses (including software that can be reactivated without
payment and software that has some trial features that stop working)."
So the definition DOES say "software that has some trial features that
stop working" yet you decided to reverse your earlier position with
respect to the apps you listed. I'm glad you did, of course, but I
don't see what's wrong with saying, "Y'know, maybe I did go just a tad
overboard initially, and maybe I should have been more open to
suggestion."
I had hoped for that kind of openness to suggestion on this issue, but
it was not to be.
