Mach is a so-called first generation [[microkernel]]. Originally developed by Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) from 1985 to 1994, which was then forked and carried from 1996 onward by GNU. It is the
microkernel currently used by the [[Hurd]].
+GNU Mach is mostly shipped under a BSD/MIT license, some parts are shipped under
+the General Public License, either version 2, or (at your option) any later
+version.
+The Linux drivers part is shipped under the General Public License version 2,
+but that can be disabled easily at compile time.
