"We hope to use the Mach message-passing kernel being devevloped at CMU.  The
current distributed version of Mach is not free because it contains code from
BSD of AT&T origin.  However, the Mach developers have been working to separate
this code from the kernel and they now say they have a first version of this
running in alpha test.  Prof. Rashid assures us that when this version is
stable, it will be free."
