This means that Apple has licensed the right to use the Unix(r) trademark, not that they have the right to use code from AT&T or its successors (USL, Novell, SCO, Caldera &c). It means that Apple will not be sued if they call macOS Unix, but it most assuredly did not use code from the SVR lineage.

This is the situation I was attempting to make light of. Apple is not what someone from 1990 would think of as a Unix vendor, but due to paying the licensing fee they are one and there are very few left.

Why wouldn’t they? By definition they passed every certification requirement to be Unix
