Some Differences Between macOS and Common Unix Systems

Thanks. Google gave me https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/brand3596.htm, which links to both http://www.opengroup.org/csq/search/t=XY1.html (Nice layout, BTW. Reminds me of the ‘90) and https://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/xy.htm.

Apparently, “conformance statements” are different from “registered products”. I guess one is self-reported and the other is externally verified?

Products get dropped from the register if the vendor fails to pay renewal fees. The product no longer appears on the register page, but the page on the product is not taken down and can still be directly accessed. This is what has happened to both Inspur K-UX and Oracle Solaris (and I'm pretty sure a few more over the years).
