KSH (KornShell) is not in PUBLIC DOMAIN.  It is a product of AT&T and the 
source can be obtained for a licence fee like the UNIX sources.  There are some
other companies which sell KSH executables for different machines/operating
systems.

Aspen Technologies, Parisppany NJ is one such vendor.

On the other hand FSF (of GNU Emacs fame) has come out with a new shell called
BASH (Bourne Again SHell) which has almost all of the features of KSH like
command line editing in Emacs and Vi mode.  It also has some features of CSH
like the '!' way of re-executing commands.  Remember that this is still in
Beta quality, I have been using it for over 6 months with satisfaction.  It is
fairly stable.  You can obtain the sources for BASH (1.04) from

	tut.cis.ohio-state.edu	128.146.8.60

If you choose to use/try this shell there is group on Usenet called gnu.bash.bug
which deals with the shell.

Good luck
