Actually, I am not sure I'd exclude originally-free programs, provided
they're still available somewhere. Obviously catalogue them as such, though.

If, say, I have a foo123 and am looking for a word processor program for
it, a freeware one might be OK, It would almost certainly be better than
nothing. Sometimes finding _any_ software is useful (e.g. if you want to
demonstrate the machine).
