Yes, and perhaps contest organisers should also provide free
antennas, and radios, and computers, and all the other little bits
and pieces that contesters need from time to time!

Success in contesting is a combination of the right skills and the
right tools.  Why should software be free, when hardware is not?
Contest logging software, with post-contest data entry facilities,
is one of the cheapest accessories any contester could wish for.
