I might point out that the person who wants to turn the trademark
UNIX into a generic term is on verrrry thin ice.  There have been
numerous cases of companies protecting their trademarks via the
courts.  To even suggest that people begin using the name as a
generic term could get that person hauled into court in very
short order.  I would suggest that the person retract their
suggestion before someone in the Legal Department sees the posting
and decides to make a case out of it.  You can only lose this one.
