I don't use the word "shareware" to describe what I write simply because it has a negative connotation in my mind. You say "shareware" and I hear "crapware" -- I don't want to be a crapware author. I don't want to think of myself that way.
Words have the power to drag me down.
On the other hand, if anyone else likes the term "shareware" I don't really mind if they use it -- for me, however, it's a pejorative.

On a different topic, how come everyone posting here is so well-spoken and reaonable, and my blog has crazy people ranting about crap?
