That public domain material could be garbage is a valid opinion but only an opinion. —the preceding unsigned comment is by 68.161.238.220 (talk • contribs)

The article doesn't say anything about that! To give an example, take twenty PD image conversion programs. All can do pretty much the same thing. All might work perfectly well. They only become shovelware if somebody puts all of them onto one CD or one FTP archive. -- Smurfix

[edit] Not a software distribution

Shovelware is software jargon but not a form of software distribution. It doesn't belong as part of the series, but instead in Category:Computing portmanteaus. I will move it soon if there are no objections. ··gracefool |☺ 23:09, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Not a dictionary

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. It says so in the 3rd sentence of the first pillar of the Five Pillars. This reference belongs in the Jargon File and hey whattayaknow?]. In what way does this term belong in an encyclopedia? : Brentstrahan 22:59, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
