You also need a BSD source license because part of the CD consists of Apple's
source code.


Info from Zonnie Lee Williamson:

The first release of MacMach consists of:
  CMU Mach Micro-Kernel, version MK67
  CMU BSD4.3 Unix Server, version UX28
  GNU "C" compiler, version 2.1 (c++ too)
  X11R4 / Motif 1.1.2
  BSD4.3 Utilities, from the Tahoe release

The Unix Server and Berkeley utilities require a Berkeley Unix License.  This
is the only *expensive* thing about MacMach.  Individuals not covered under
a site license from their University or Company are essentially out of luck.
I am not sure how requests from outside the USA will be handled...  If you
have a BSD license, I don't see any trouble.


More info is probably available from info-macmach-request+@andrew.cmu.edu.
comp.os.mach is a good newsgroup to read, too, if you want to know more.
