I, for one, think Unix falls into the same category as Kleenex,
Aspirin, and Xerox - a registered trademark, but too common to bother
with the footnotes.  Everyone has seen this fact in all the hardcopy
manuals quite often enough that to know it's not really a generic
name, but wants to use it as one.

Should we have GNARTOATT instead of GNU???
