This is a *very* common misconception. The current Mach kernel
contains significant amounts of BSD code and requires an AT&T
license. The 3.0 Mach kernel will be free of AT&T code, but how
useful it will be to the average user without an environment,
filesystem, device drivers, etc. (all would require licenses) is
left as an exercise for the reader.
