We have a program called PubliCalc.  It was based on James Gosling's
spreadsheet of many years ago.  We have rewritten about 50% of the
code and offer it as quasi-public domain.  $10 for a XENIX or 386 UNIX
binary with man pages, $10 for the manual we wrote or $50 for Source
code and the manual.  You can do anything you want with the software
(one person ported it to Chromix and is selling it) but the manual is
copyrighted. 

We originally did it as a show gimmick (big sign that said spread sheet -
$10) to get people to stop in our booth (we sell pocket references and a
few years ago people only would stop if you had a computer in your
booth.
