If CSSC was the only OSS implementation for SCCS, this would be sad news.
There however is the original SCCS source available as true OpenSource
since December 2006 and it is actively used and maintained.
SCCS is 10x to 50x faster than CSSC and added a lot of new and interesting
features during the past 12.5 years of being OSS.
I encourage people who are interested in having a look at
http://sccs.sourceforge.net/
and at:
http://schilytools.sourceforge.net/
where you get frequent development snapshots.
It would be a nice guesture if you did change your web page that still
incorrectly claims that the SCCS original is closed source.
Note that the mailing lists are no longer useful since sourceforge changed
their setup with the EU General Data Protection Regulation.
