I think this is incorrect.  Although RCS is distributed with some
versions of Berkeley Unix, it is not public domain.  There was some
discussion about this in comp.sys.ibm.pc (I think) recently. 

MKS has just recently ported a *licensed* copy of Mr.  Tichy's source
code to MS-DOS, and we don't want people thinking they can make copies
of it for their friends.
