Such a right shall apply irrespective of the consumer’s place of residence.”

There probably are not any AT&T code in MacOS. That code is very old now anyway so it can not be very useful.

I don’t think it would be hard to certifiy a Linux distro, Huawei EulerOS 2.0 is certified Unix. The cost and time to do it does not seem to be worth it.

Just Google Open Group.

There is more to it than buying a license, you have to certify your product against the Open Group Unix standard, of which there are several.
This costs a bunch of money, so that is why few Linux distributions bother. The Windows NT Posix subsystem is not even remotely compliant, so it has never been Unix certified.
For a list of Unix-certified OS:es: https://www.opengroup.org/open...

Huawei EulerOS 2.0 is certified Unix, and is Linux based. MacOS is regularly certified when a new version comes out.

But some mean by Unix something like "An OS that contains or traces its past versions to some of the original AT&T Unix source code".
Not many of those around.

Submission + - Judge Orders "Immediate Removal" of Website Critical of Voice Lie Detector 2

Submitted by George Maschke
George Maschke writes: AntiPolygraph.org reports that on Friday, May 17th, U.S. Magistrate Judge Dave Lee Brannon ordered the "immediate removal" of the website www.NITVCVSAexposed.com. The site is critical of a voice based lie detector called the Computer Voice Stress Analyzer (CVSA). At the moment, the site remains online. A mirror is available on Archive.org. How common is this sort of thing, and can the Internet Archive be compelled to delete its copy of a site that has been the subject of a removal order?

Submission + - Apple's Tim Cook calls out 'religious freedom' laws as discriminatory

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: It will come as no surprise that Apple's CEO Tim Cook doesn't agree with so-called religious freedom laws. Cook says, "[they] rationalize injustice by pretending to defend something many of us hold dear," and has penned an op-ed piece for The Washington Post which reads in part: "A wave of legislation, introduced in more than two dozen states, would allow people to discriminate against their neighbors. Some, such as the bill enacted in Indiana last week that drew a national outcry and one passed in Arkansas, say individuals can cite their personal religious beliefs to refuse service to a customer or resist a state nondiscrimination law. Others are more transparent in their effort to discriminate. Legislation being considered in Texas would strip the salaries and pensions of clerks who issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples — even if the Supreme Court strikes down Texas’ marriage ban later this year. In total, there are nearly 100 bills designed to enshrine discrimination in state law. These bills rationalize injustice by pretending to defend something many of us hold dear. They go against the very principles our nation was founded on, and they have the potential to undo decades of progress toward greater equality."

Submission + - Systemd Devs Fork Linux Kernel (distrowatch.com) 3

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: Now it appears as though the systemd developers have found a solution to kernel compatibility problems and a way to extend their philosophy of placing all key operating system components in one repository. According to Ivan Gotyaovich, one of the developers working on systemd, the project intends to maintain its own fork of the Linux kernel. "There are problems, problems in collaboration, problems with compatibility across versions. Forking the kernel gives us control over these issues, gives us control over almost all key parts of the stack."
