Yes. These came originally from Intel and were part of the CMU Mach
distribution. Intel wouldn't let CMU distribute the source.
The thing to do has long been to fetch the FPE emulation from some
other free source (Linux and BSD come to mind, if they have it), and
plug that in. Failing that, it could be removed.
