Your comments are relevant but there are downsides to free software too.

Microsoft Windows XP is free to my institution. The cost to
install it is half a day of labor.

Maxima from sourceforge is free.  The cost (to me) to download it
and install it is low because it comes in an install.exe.

I think Axiom requires linux. The cost of installing linux,
if you haven't done so already... ?
