That depends on what you mean by "public domain".  There are two free
spreadsheets available in source code form, for generic Unix machines.

There's "oleo", available via anonymous FTP from prep.ai.mit.edu, in the
directroy pub/gnu.  It's protected under the gnu copyleft.  I have not
yet tried to get this up and running on the NeXT, but I will this
summer.  Note that this is version 0.3 of the software; it's probably
not ready for general use yet.

There's also "sc", available from pc.usl.edu in the directory
pub/unix.  I've compiled this on my NeXTstation, and it's what I use
for day-to-day spreadsheet work.  This is version 6.14 of the software
(at least the last time I checked).  Would it be worth putting a
compiled version of this out on the archive sites?
