- "No, they call themselves Unix. They *cannot* call themselves UNIX(tm)."
-
- This surely must be wrong, either Unix is a trade mark or it is not. If
- it is, then the whole point of a trademark is that it stops people
- from using it without your permission, or without appropriate acknowledgement.
-
- In fact from what Dan Pop says, systems like Solaris and Irix *can* in
- fact call themselves Unix, since they have an appropaite agreement with
- the trademark holder. What is not clear is what is involved (other than
- paying a fee) in getting this permission (i.e. is there any formal
- testing process?)
