   What is UNIX?

From http://www.rdg.opengroup.org/unix/trademark.html
<<
            UNIX® is a registered trademark of The Open Group. 

The correct attributions are either: 

"UNIX is a registered trademark of The Open Group" 

or before X/Open Company became part of The Open Group 

"UNIX is a registered trademark in the United States and other
countries, licensed exclusively though X/Open Company Ltd." 

All existing Licensees have been instructed by Novell that they should
now use the correct attribution. Any other attribution is incorrect. 

Please note: 

     It must not be used as a generic term. 
     It must not be used in connection with products, unless the product
is licensed to use the mark. 
     There are detailed guidelines referring to the visual presentation,
form and manner of use. 
     In editorial or articles, but not advertising the trade marks may
be used without prior permission - provided that the rules in our
Trademark Usage Guide are
     followed. 

The Trademark Usage Guide is available in postscript or PDF formats.
(PDF viewers for 18 platforms are available here). 

Motif®, OSF/1®, X/Open® and UNIX® are registered trademarks and the X
deviceTM and The Open GroupTM are trademarks of The Open Group.
