ksh93 is not in the packages because the license is so incomprehensible
that nobody is sure if it is allowed to put the binaries on the CD-ROM.

Yes, ksh93 and pdksh are different versions.
ksh93 is the "real" thing, while pdksh is basically an attempt to write
a free shell that is compatible to ksh.  It is only recently that the
source code to ksh93 has been released.
