Is there a copyright on shareware?

Answer:
Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Making something shareware doesn't automatically remove copyright restrictions on it, it just gives people a license to use and share it as they like. Any "about" file or "readme" or similar documentation will spell out the creator's expectations.
