According to Dennis Ritchie and one of the three definitions of "UNIX" it is.

Dennis Ritchie doesn't own that definition and never did, but I can see why he'd like to put what he percieves as his label on everything imaginable. As for the facts, Linux only meets one of your own three definitions LOL. How hilarious is that? But using them anyway, if you have all three you're bonafide UNIXtm. Two of the three is "Unix". One of the three is wannabe, "Unix-like".

you are just so desperate to catch me in something wrong. It must be frustrating.

Hardly. Considering your history of admitted lying to protect criminal foreign hackers, constant plugging of foreign products including cheap immitations, and most importantly routine attacks on Republicans and Christians, all by way of distorted facts and double speak, I see you as more of a punching bag.

So in this statement you say "Who owns it gets to define it." Good, then the certification (trademark) definition of UNIX is correct (the Open Group owns it and defines it) and your lineage definition is wrong.

s for the facts, Linux only meets one of your own three definitions LOL. How hilarious is that?

You only need to meet one definition. It is only your misunderstanding that is hilarious.

But using them anyway, if you have all three you're bonafide UNIXtm. Two of the three is "Unix". One of the three is wannabe, "Unix-like".

You are the only place I have ever heard that concept from. The fact is that you need to meet one to be UNIX™. That is certification. Although if you get certification you also de facto meet the functionality definition. Lineage from Bell/AT&T is not required.

Considering your history of admitted lying to protect criminal foreign hackers

Aside from the fact that your statement is false, that nmap thing exposing your ignorance really put a long-term thorn in your paw, didn't it?
