UNIX is a trademark. You can't call something UNIX unless it has payed 
for the ability to use the name UNIX. This privilege also requires that 
your OS suffice several standards.

And there's one text one that's 18k at /usr/share/misc/bsd-family-tree, 
except it's just a tree for the BSDs.

I hate to be whiny here, but can we *please* *keep* *discussions* *on* 
*topic*. I know this is not a technical list, but please understand 
that if you want to have a discussion about things that aren't related 
to advocating FreeBSD, it's best if you remove the email address 
``freebsd-advocacy at freebsd.org

Perhaps the moderator(s) could create a FreeBSD General Discussion list?
