As far as I know, the trade marked name is UNIX. 
"There is no logo for the UNIX trade mark and, other the]an the need for
the mark to always be reproduced in capitals, not specific form is
prescribed." 

I am not clear on whether it is legal to use Unix, but it is not the
trade marked name, so is probably no more correct than Unix-like. The
document never discusses the use of Unix, unix, or anything that is not
all caps.
