Just to pick a semantic nit, the FSF folks wouldn't want any of the GNU
software to be referred to as "shareware".  Shareware is try-before-you-buy
software, you can take a generous test drive but the copyright-holder still
expects you to pay for the privilege of using the software.  GNU is Free
Software, not shareware, nor is it in the public domain.  See the GNU
License at  http://www.ns.utk.edu/gnu/gcc/gcc_1.html#SEC1 and also the GNU
Manifesto at http://www.ns.utk.edu/gnu/emacs/emacs_400.html#SEC408 for
further information.
