That's a weird way to put it. OS X is certified Unix (capital U).

Some folks consider OS X Unix-like in the same way that we consider Linux Unix-like. It's not strictly speaking exactly equivalent to the original Unix, but it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck, so it's pretty much a duck.

The parent's point is that OS X has Unix certification. It's not just Unix-like, but according to The Open Group (IIRC), it is Unix.

I understood that. But just because Some Folks Use Capital Letters doesn't really mean much. ;)
