I know this must be a frequently asked question, but since I
haven't seen any postings which answer this question, or any
signs of a periodic "FAQ" posting (I'm a new reader of this
newsgroup), I feel I must ask.

(a) I have seen discussions of Mach 3.0 in this group.  Is it being
    made widely available, only is access limited?  Is 3.0 the
    most recent version?
(b) If it is widely available, what licensing constraints are on
    source code for Mach 3.0?  Is it free of AT&T code?  Does it
    fall into the category of "licensed, but freely distributable"
    as do other things such as the BSD networking code or the various
    GNU things?
(c) If it is freely available, how does one get it?
(d) If it is not free, but is still available for some cost or with
    some sort of licensing restrictions, how does one find out more
    about these costs and/or licensing restrictions?  To whom would I
    speak in order to probe the possibility of obtaining this code? 

Thanks for any information or assistance.  I've seen this question
a number of times so I think it would be worthwhile for anyone with
an authoritative answer to post it rather than just e-mailing it to me.
