RCS is copylefted, which is not the same as public domain, but it does mean the source is freely available. You can FTP it from the following sites: site filename archive.cs.ruu.nl /pub/GNU/rcs-5.5.tar.Z cs.purdue.edu pub/RCS/rcs.5_5.tar.Z prep.ai.mit.edu pub/gnu/rcs-5.5.tar.Z uunet.uu.net gnu/rcs-5.5.tar.Z It works best with GNU diff 1.15; look for diff-1.15.tar.Z.
