Last night at the SVNet talk, Richard Stallman (FSF) mentioned that he is
curretnly talking to the MACH people at CMU (Rashid?) about merging his GNU
kernel with MACH. Basically, Stallman would be writing the portions of MACH
that are currently based on ATT/BSD code, possibly thereby making MACH
truly free, or at least Copylefted(tm).

I hope the negotiations between Stallman and CMU work out, because "GNU+MACH"
sounds like an unbeatable operating system.
