I don't think this is correct.
SCO now owns the USL (Unix Systems Laboratories) which they purchased from
Novell. This in turn means that SCO owns the SystemV code.
If you want to use sysV code in your OS, you'll have to license it from
SCO.
Unix, however, is a registered trademark of The Open Group
(www.opengroup.org).
Every OS that gets a Unix95 or UNIX98 brand from the Open Group, are
entitled to use "Unix" as part of their product name.
That's why Compaq can name their OS "Tru64 Unix".
To read more about the Unix brand and the Single Unix Specification,
