Not shareware.
I have been using Ardour for 5 years now, for all kinds of recording, mixing and mastering projects. Every single mix I delivered, was received extremely well, and nobody ever asked questions about the DAW I am using.
The word shareware makes me think of badly written windows software you can get for free, but is closed source.
Open source is a wonderful concept, and even I have contributed in a small way to improve it by testing and fault-finding an issue that I had. It was solved.
Free and open software is not free as in beer. It is free as in speech. Free as in freedom. Not a downer at all.
