a) If everybody called them the same things some lawyer would insist on
   an IP suit because obviously somebody copied something.

b) I haven't seen SGI's or IBM's stuff, but I swear that things are
   changed in HP-UX and Solaris *JUST SO THEY ARE DIFFERENT*.  And they
   wouldn't want too close a match to the "free" systems either.  I
   think the suits call it "product differentiation" don't they?
