No, that will be insufficient. It is required to add an attribution, according to The Open Group which is the owner of the UNIX trademark. Note that it has to be spelled "UNIX" (all upper case); any other spellings ("Unix", "unix", "UN*X" etc) are considered an infringment of the trademark, except in private communications. I know a company who once had legal trouble with The Open Group because of incorrect usage of the UNIX trademark on their web pages. So this should be taken serious. The Open Group has a detailed explanation of the usage guidelines for their trademarks (including UNIX) here: http://www.opengroup.org/registration/tmug.pdf There's also a quick and simple overview here: http://www.opengroup.org/trademarks.htm Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
