Should the user of the code consider the software useful, they are encouraged to buy the author a beer “in return” if they ever meet.

Not to be confused with “free as in beer” software

I remember downloading some “postcardware” back in the 90’s. The author requested that you send them an interesting postcard if you liked the software.

I like that idea. I’ve actually seen that somewhere recently but I can’t remember where.
