URL?
Anyway, according to their faq:
http://www.unix-systems.org/questions_answers.html#0

  Q. What systems are registered UNIX systems?

  A.  * The majority of commercial vendors have registered UNIX 95
        products.  More recent releases are now being registered as UNIX
        98 products.  See the product register for the lists of registered
        products.

(the link to registered products is essentially the same as what I
sent; no Apple there.)

...

  Q.  What types of product can bear the UNIX Brand?

  A.  * Only those computer operating system that implement the services
        as specified in the Specification set(s) for UNIX 93 , UNIX 95 or
        UNIX 98.

So now that FreeBSD includes the One True Awk, it qualifies for the
UNIX trademark?
