I just got done reading a book called "Shareware Heroes" that mentioned various shareware apps providing source code to users who registered. The free versions never had source provided; the source was advertised as a perk for paid users. It's different than what we expect today, but honestly not the worst business model out there.

Tha sounds interesting. Can you remember any of the names of the apps/games?
Not right off, but I could possibly look at the book this evening and reply some of them here.
