I believe that the definition of a "published" work in this context is
something that you intend to distribute without license agreements or other
similar contractual arrangements.  Non-published works are materials
that you may make available under licensing or some other contractual
basis.  Of course, both published and non-published works may be copyrighted,
and/or other protections, such as trade secrets, may also apply.

Most commercial computer software, including Unix, DBASE, etc. would 
probably be defined as non-published under the above definition.

(I am not a laywer--just my lay understanding of the issue.)
