Software certainly does come with strings attached, however, most computer manufacturers have looked the other way, as long as the software is not being used in a real working environment. Even IBM seems not to care much - I have never heard of them going after a museum or individual. Obviously, there are no strings attached to documentation or hardware, providing that the ownership can be transferred (IBM internal docs officially still belong to IBM, for example).
