According to ATT there never was a public domain copy.  Only leaked
copies.  This came about over a furor about Zimmerman's CCA EMACS.

It's amazing that ATT wants $900 for source to their EMACS when UniPress
only wants $995 for source to their far superior version of Gosling's.

An entirely reasonable replacement is JOVE.  I believe this is not
in the public domain, but available to anyone with a UNIX license
(probably has some fragments of the UNIX regular expression code in it)
