The result is that there is only CVS which cannot be called free.
Am I missing something? AFAIK CVS is completely free.
Yup, you are missing the difference between free beer and freedom.
While the CVD program is free, it does not give me the needed freedom.
Please note: in the 1980s CVS has been free only for universities.
The CVS authors did create a script that converts SCCS history fiules into RCS history files but not vice versa.
If I would have beeen interested to test CVS and later would find that I don't like it, I would not have the freedom to convert back to SCCS.

I agree, but if it is fully documented, don't you have the freedom to write the script yourself? I do not see the problem in that.
/me going on little information, Wim
