     @kirby@lab.nyanide.com it feels like it is but nobody knows who actually owns it so it's pretty much unenforceable

     @Yuki apparently the open group owns it, is there some sort of conflict going on with the trademark in limbo or something?

     @kirby Trademark != copyright.
     
     Trademarks can be in force forever provided that the trademark holders pays the renewal rent without fail.
     
     There's a reason why it's GNU's Not Unix.
