Trademark issues

I revised the trademark section to reflect The Open Group's current recommendations.

I've reworked the article a bit, trying to establish consistent standards for the use of the U-word here, as a compromise between The Open Group's trademark rights and the public's free speech rights:

• The original program developed by Bell Labs: Unix.
• OSes that resemble it: "Unix-like" (the "scare quotes" to reflect that it's not a formally correct term).
• OSes complying with the Single UNIX Specification: UNIX.
