1: We have never worried about the paper trail for Mach sources, because it's like trying to nail jello to a tree. 2: We adopted the policy that we were not going to GPL our own work on Mach because then it could be more easily shared with the rest of the community. 3: Most of our changes have been small enough that it's not clear that we have a real claim to make.
