Maybe, since you've worked these trademark issues before, you could say how TOG (or trademark lawyers in general) react to the use of things like "Unix-like", "Unixy", or "Un*x" in the same places they would complain about the use of "Unix". Eg, on a FreeBSD-promoting web site, or a FreeBSD-book-promoting web site, not necessarily FreeBSD.org. Ex: FreeBSD is a Unix(TM)-like OS. (with proper TM blurb at bottom, etc.) FreeBSD is one of many free Unixy [or unixy] OSes. FreeBSD is a near-clone of Un*x, evolving from a Un*x-branded code base.
