   I just saw an ad for a product called MKS RCS. Has anyone heard of it
   before?  I thought RCS was copylefted under GNU. I don't know if MKS has
   developed their RCS from scratch or what, I have only seen the ad. It
   supposedly has the same functionality as GNU's (W.F. Tichy's) RCS. Does
   anyone know where/what MKS is?

RCS is currently distributed under GNU copyright.  This was not always
the case.  MKS has been selling RCS for a long time, and I believe
their version started with an older RCS distribution.
