Are you certain that this is still the case? RCS, *per se*, includes no AT&T source code, as far as I know. It *does* require that you have a "diff" that supports the "-n" option, and I think that at one point RCS came with a modified version of the 4.1BSD "diff" (derived from the V7 "diff", and thus chock-full of AT&T source) that supported this. However, the 4.3BSD "diff" supports "-n", so if your system has that you don't need an upgraded "diff" (SunOS 3.2 and later, for example, have that "diff"), and some of the publicly-available versions of "diff" may do so as well.
