Totally wrong. You're confusing the Mach operating system (with UX, a BSD-server on top of the Mach micro-kernel) and the Mach micro-kernel itself.

GNU Mach is a modified version of OSF Mach which is modified version of CMU Mach.

Maybe for you, an OS is drivers. For me, it's a design, an architecture, a philosophy, and a way to defend a value that is not important for you: Freedom.
