I think you should tell the Open Group lawyers to go sit on hedgehogs.  From
my point of view, UNIX is a philosophy of operating system design developed
by Thompson, Ritchie, et al, and Linux is a UNIX implementation.

The term *NIX is... ungainly, and lacking in aesthetic appeal.  How are the
HR weenies going to pronounce that during new employee orientation?
