When it first came out it was definately a shareware only product.
I think you can still get shareware versions but the last version
I got (PSP 4.0  - $49.95 US) was purshased at a retail outlet so
I suppose that qualifies it as a commercial program. Regardless
PSP is many times lower in cost than programs like PhotoShop,
Corel, and Adobe which cost in the hundreds of dollars but still
offers many of the same features. You could call it the top of
the line hobbyist graphics program (hmm... kind of like POV-Ray)
where the programs I mentioned before are considered suitable
for production work.
