As far as I know, if a customer purchases a key from you, that customer
has made an agreement with only you. The shareware website is simply
offering a large number of titles, making it convenient for the
potential customer, but unless you specifically sign up for an affiliate
program with it, the shareware site would have the same function as
someone taking the trial and passing it to his/her friend.
