But it's the reason why Apple did it. Faced with a huge lawsuit.

Jesus dude. Why did apple take the time to get certified rather than just not claim they were Unix? Is that verbose enough for you?

  • They claimed it and then had a choice of either compliant or pay $200 million.

    Why did they claim it? They’re trying to justify the $475 million they already spent merging with NeXT? Early Mac OS X stuff wasn’t well received, especially their early server product based on Rhapsody.

  • Why don’t you do what I did, and use the vast amount of information at your fingertips and search for the answer if you care that much.
