I no longer have NeXT hardware, but have a few applications with 
licenses. Two are different versions of Design! from Lighthouse Design 
and are on the website above. Two (Collagist and StayInTouch) are from 
SmartSoft and I have not found them anywhere else. The SmartSoft web 
page on their NeXT applications was last updated in 1995 and they 
haven't responded to my e-mail asking about the license.

I have tried to sell then give these applications away on the NeXT 
forums and got no takers.

Licensing for Mathematica is stupid.  Wolfram still wants money for 
25-year-old software that runs on long unsupported hardware.

On a related topic, is there a browser that runs on Openstep 4.2 on 
SPARC now? OmniWeb reports that its license is expired and exits on my 
system.
