Shareware has come to mean something more akin to trialware in more recent years, with features or the entire application being disabled after 30 days.
A quick glance at the list of apps on it would make me think 'no, its not ok still'. A large number of the tools are free for personal use only. Whether or not you use them, having them on a bootable disk is enough to end up being prosecuted for copyright infringement.
The UBCD is a much safer choice, as it is designed around free/gpl software from the off (and free meaning for any use).
