Judge Easterbrook of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals is one of
the nations foremost intellectual property experts. Here is what he
ruled in 2006:

"One prominent example of free, open-source software is the Linux
operating system, a derivative of the Unix operating system written
by AT&T in the 1960s and now available without cost. (Unix® is a
trademark of The OpenGroup, but the source code to many variants of
AT&T’s work is freely available.) Linux is one of many modern
derivatives of Unix—which is not itself under the GPL"; Wallace v.
International Business Machines Corp. et al. 467 F.3d 1104, 7th Cir.
(2006)

Who are we to believe? Our lying eyes when reading Judge 
Easterbrook's ruling or your self-serving claims?

I think the full faith and credit of the law is against you on this
one. Do you have a United States Circuit Court of Appeals ruling
supporting your claim? If not, I think your signature is
self-referential:
