or is it too elusive a concept?

I think you're right when you say it's a concept. Free will itself is a concept as it implies that people can control all their thoughts and decision making. When closely looked at, they can't, and neither will computers.

NO!
Even if you had a computer that had (fuzzy logic) 3 state logic, all possible results could still be mapped out!
You may get a computer on the level of even a ape, it still (like the ape) would not have free will!

My computer already has a will of its own. I'm just afraid to report it.

No. Free will is reserved for human beings only, a gift from God.

the computer would have to have rules so therefore it wouldnt be freewill because there is something thats stopping it from doing certain things.

I suppose, but that certainly doesn't mean we should. Makes me think of I, Robot.
