S is not public domain; you have to buy it from AT&T (or perhaps USL?).
It is not expensive for universities (I paid $400 for old S in 1987, and
$800 for new S in 1989).

Douglas Bates at Wisconsin (bates@stat.wisc.edu) ported S to the NeXT
last year.  I don't know the status of the port nowadays.

An inexpensive alternative to S is |STAT (pipe-stat) by
Gary Perlman of Ohio State University (perlman@cis.ohio-state.edu).
Last thing I knew, he was asking $20/$30 for the UNIX version, and
$10 for the printed docs.  I don't have a copy, so I can't post a review.
The `sci.math.stat' newsgroup often contains postings on other statistical
software.
