@niconiconi >All BSD derivatives can be called proper Unix systems.
Yes, they were derived from Unix code, but as Unix is a trademark, you're only legally permitted to call certified systems "Unix".
>for its credit, did release all AT&T Unix source up to V7 as free software.
As a court determined, SCO didn't and does NOT hold the copyrights of Unix: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO_Group%2C_Inc._v._Novell%2C_Inc.
Thus, the copyright "release" by SCO was completely invalid.
Novell hasn't make any copyright "releases" as far as I am aware, but they don't seem to be interested in pursuing the matter as of up to now.
