== History == An example of donationware is the 1987 [[Atari ST]] [[video game]] ''[[Ballerburg]]'', whose programmer distributed the game for free but asked for a donation, offering as incentive the [[source code]] for the game.<ref>[http://www.eckhardkruse.net/atari_st/baller.html April 1987: Ballerburg - Zwei Spieler, zwei Burgen und ein Berg dazwischen...] on eckhardkruse.net ''"Ich habe das Programm als Public Domain veröffentlicht (die Unterscheidung in Freeware, Shareware usw. gab es damals nicht), mit der Bitte um eine 20 DM Spende. Dafür gab es dann die erweitere Version und den Quellcode."'' (in German)</ref> Red Ryder was a [[terminal emulation]] software program created for the [[Apple Macintosh]] in the 1980s that used donations to fund development.{{fact|date=May 2014}}.
