I just read through all the back articles that we have at our site, and
haven't seen this, so forgive me if it's been discussed before.

I was talking to an OSF employee yesterday, and he said (paraphrase mode on)
OSF is currently working on producing MACH on behalf of the OSF consortium
members, and that FSF was a major player/partner in this effort. (paraphrase
mode off)

Given OSF's reputation for source code licenses (good, as long as you're not
a gov't contractor with lots of legal entanglements,) how will this
"partnership" affect FSF's MACH, with specific regard to the availability of
the source?
