      Mach is, of course, free to all.  

   Surely this is not true is it? I seem to remember having to have
   the correct licences (BSD and MT. XINU for NFS) when I installed it
   here. I don't see how anyone can claim that this is free :-)

Mach 2.5 requires the licenses of which you speak.  The Mach 3.0 micro
kernel on the Pmax and the 386 is, indeed free.  The single server
which many people run on top of it requires other people's licenses.
