A type of software licensing where the software author asks the users to pay for the software but not with money. Instead the request may be for a postcard, an e-mail letter, or other token of appreciation that is not monetary based.

The Careware Idea
CareWare doesn't involve money, but it is a transaction nevertheless. Something is delivered, something is received. Adam Smith's invisible economic hand moves through the CareWare economy just like everywhere else. I can't ask for something more than I am giving, but I can ask for an appropriate exchange.
