Well, I have paid for PC-WRITE and F83 Forth (the latter is $25 from the
authors but is not strictly share-ware because there is no appeal for money
from people who got copies from friends/bboards).

I am not using any other software for which donations have been solicited,
so I guess I am paying for 100%.  Under CP/M I am using lots of public
domain software, but nobody every asked for contributions back then.
