It's not that I don't remember the good ol' Unix days, and it's
not that I don't respect Ritchie, Kernighan, et al., but The Open
Group owns the trademark now, so the proper use of the term is
according to their guidelines.

As someone once said, there is no more such as thing as Unix as there is Ibm.
Philip.
