Good Idea.  

When we at MicroSage looked at RCS it contained (used) AT&T
pattern matching code.  The result was that a source license was
required.  Our last contact with Walter Tichy was 21 Feb. 1986.
so -- in the intervening time RCS may have been recoded without
the AT&T code.

Remember that one of the goals of Unix was economy of
programming. 

P.S.  I think RCS is vastly better than sccs.
