minus-squareuis@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up6·1 year agoAt one point many years ago. BSD is true UNIX btw.
minus-squarecandybrie@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up12·1 year agoI looked it up. macOS is still unix certified. BSD is usually not unix certified, so has to refer to itself as unix like. What is and isn’t unix is kind of up to what definition you’re working with (pedigree, legally, practically).
minus-squareuis@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year ago BSD is usually not unix certified, so has to refer to itself as unix like. Wait, really? Not POSIX?
