   @Suiseiseki >Unix is a trademark that a business can apply for if the OS in question uses any software originally derivative of the original Bell Labs or A&AT Unix and can pass a proprietary test suite. Now you’re just being semantic. Don’t take the Stallman meme too far.

   It was originally built from Unix (this is my understanding), uses an operating system (GNU?) which is based on Unix. It’s a derivative of Unix, no matter how far removed.

   Just like how every programming language is ultimately assembly even if they are several abstractions away from it, since they all compile to assembly (or binary) in the end.

   I really couldn’t care less about the minutiae though. I was just trying to be funny. :alexjonesbald:
