er, i haven't cared about this question for a few years, but the
last time i checked USL owned the unix name, and are charged
with the responsibility of keeping SysV the only "real" unix.

Here's a small list of u*ix-like oses:

Real unix: solaris 2 (sunos 5.4), a/ux, sco, irix (svr3).

Fake unix: linux (posix), mach/bsd, 4.3/4 bsd, FreeBSD,
  OpenBSD, NetBSD, BSD/OS, Interactive BSD, solaris 1 (sunos 4.x)

Not quite unix: minix, coherent, etc.

Makes unix-people happier: Cygnus Support's libraries for NT.
