Is there a public domain scheme available for anonymous ftp?

What a question! Is there any Non-public-domain Scheme available for
ftp?
Seriously, yes: MIT CScheme from altdorf.ai.mit.edu.
Works on most unix platforms; easier to compile on some than on others.
There are several others (like xscheme, gambit, elk, etc.).

YES!  A long summary just posted to compl.lang.scheme details TI PC/Scheme
sources, available for FTP, and NOT public domain, since TI retains copyright
on them.  LOTS of things that are available for FTP are NOT public domain,
for example all GNU Public License 'copylefted' materials, so why not Scheme?!

Followups on definitions of 'public domain' to misc.legal, please...
