   What does it even mean by Unix only release? It's only for Solaris? HP-UX? Sys V?
   
   Is this release is not supported for free *Unix like* systems like GNU and BSDs?

     Some parts of it are Unix-like, but many parts are not.

     @BionicNigga @redstarfish Yes, macos passes the proprietary POSIX test suite, but that just confirms it is inferior, as it lacks freedom.
