I don't think Android is an officially licensed version of UNIX though? (I wouldn't normally nitpick, but I assumed that's what was meant by "commercial UNIX".)

  I don't get it. Isn't Darwin open source ?

    macOS as of Leopard is “certified UNIX” (Single Unix Specv3). Darwin is the “Unix core” that macOS is built on, but it hasn’t been certified by itself[0]. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system)

    Darwin is just a bunch of source code dumps at this point. Gone are the days when Apple provided an actual bootable ISO.

        yes, approximately until 10.4 Tiger: https://web.archive.org/web/20100303160410/http://www.opensource.apple.com/static/iso/ https://web.archive.org/web/20100303160410/http://www.openso... (importantly those links still work, even outside of the Wayback machine)

  Neither is Solaris at this point. Oracle no longer renew their Unix certification for Solaris. Apple still has macOS certified though. https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/ https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/

    Ten years ago, Solaris was still a certified "UNIX" system.
