In that case you might want to remove references to the following (as
it looked OK to reference proprietary UNIX)

SunOS, Solaris, Irix, AIX, DG/UX, HP-UX, OSF/1, Digital UNIX, Tru64,
SCO (definitely SCO!), and MacOS X (and probably others I missed).

Personally I wouldn't, they're a part of Linux's history... and these
days largely interesting for historical purposes.
