From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   Unix /yoo'niks/ n.   [In the authors' words, "A weak pun on
   Multics"; very early on it was `UNICS'] (also `UNIX') An interactive
   time-sharing system invented in 1969 by Ken Thompson after Bell Labs
   left the Multics project, originally so he could play games on his
   scavenged PDP-7.   Dennis Ritchie, the inventor of C, is considered a
   co-author of the system.   The turning point in Unix's history came
   when it was reimplemented almost entirely in C during 1972-1974,
   making it the first source-portable OS.   Unix subsequently underwent
   mutations and expansions at the hands of many different people,
   resulting in a uniquely flexible and developer-friendly environment.
   By 1991, Unix had become the most widely used multiuser
   general-purpose operating system in the world.   Many people consider
   this the most important victory yet of hackerdom over industry
   opposition (but see {Unix weenie} and {Unix conspiracy} for an
   opposing point of view).   See {Version 7}, {BSD}, {USG Unix},
   {Linux}.
  
      Some people are confused over whether this word is appropriately
   `UNIX' or `Unix'; both forms are common, and used interchangeably.
   Dennis Ritchie says that the `UNIX' spelling originally happened in
   CACM's 1974 paper "The UNIX Time-Sharing System" because "we had a
   new typesetter and {troff} had just been invented and we were
   intoxicated by being able to produce small caps."   Later, dmr tried
   to get the spelling changed to `Unix' in a couple of Bell Labs
   papers, on the grounds that the word is not acronymic.   He failed,
   and eventually (his words) "wimped out" on the issue.   So, while the
   trademark today is `UNIX', both capitalizations are grounded in
   ancient usage; the Jargon File uses `Unix' in deference to dmr's
   wishes.

      "Unix" or "UNIX"?   Both seem roughly equally popular, perhaps
      with a historical bias toward the latter.   "UNIX" is a
      registered trademark of {The Open Group}, however, since it is
      a name and not an acronym, "Unix" has been adopted in this
      dictionary except where a larger name includes it in upper
      case.   Since the OS is {case-sensitive} and exists in many
      different versions, it is fitting that its name should reflect
      this.
