I don't speak for CMU or FSF. The Mach 3.0 Kernel currently runs on Sun 3's, Vaxes, AT bus 386's, and pmaxes. The only ports which don't require licenses are the 386 and pmax. POE, the unix emulator which FSF is likely to start with, runs on the 386, sun3 and pmax. Performance: Our BSD4.3 unix server which is not Free, has preformance comparable to Mach 2.5. Mach 2.5 is generally faster then the vendor unix for the same machine. There is no reason to belive that POE cannot achieve this performance or better. There is no reason POE cannot run on any machine that a mach kernel is ported to.
