Indeed, I have corresponded with Tichy about that quite sometime ago.
RCS has been copyright by Tichy since the beginning, and there was, at the
time, a license fee for any commercial use. I also obtained, at the time,
his permission "to do whatever I like" for an even earlier version of RCS
than the one that was being licensed. [I couldn't efford the license fee]
I have no way of knowing how many versions (public or commercial) of RCS
are around, but it is suffice to say that FSF's copylefted version of RCS
is not the only one, now or ever. Good enough for me. ;-)
