- retrocryptid 3y agoThis means that Apple has licensed the right to use the Unix(r) trademark, not that they have the right to use code from AT&T or its successors (USL, Novell, SCO, Caldera &c). It means that Apple will not be sued if they call macOS Unix, but it most assuredly did not use code from the SVR lineage.
