Apple did NOT
go to the nicety of licensing OS X as a version of

There are two completely different issues here.
One is, is OSX derived (in the copyright-law sense) from Bell Labs UNIX
source code?
The other is, does OSX have the right to use the UNIX trademark? I would be very interested if you would be so kind as
to point out
exactly what code in Darwin you think requires a UNIX source license.
You refer to it as "fact", so you presumably have an example....
I think that IBM would tell you that the latter doesn't necessarily
follow the former....
