GNU has an SCCS clone. A so-so one but James and his crew fixes bugs.
And I suspect that BitSCCS is out there on the intertubes somewhere.

Considering that all the SCCS files are on the CDs that Kirk
distributed, that's particularly strange. My thought was that, with
the exception of Larry, nobody has the SCCS software any more. Aren't the SCCS sources for the real history
online? I know Kirk made
them available on his CD, I have them somewhere.
In a previous private e-mail I received from Kirk, he said:
The folks at UC
Berkeley have always required me to track distributions of the SCCS
files as they somehow think of them as still sensitive.
which implies that the SCCS files cannot be released publicly. However,
the SVN version is a "derivative" of the SCCS files and, on that basis,
is publicly available. Go figure :)
