SVG development

The source code of this SVG is invalid due to 4 errors.

This W3C-invalid diagram was created with an unknown SVG tool.

This SVG diagram uses embedded text that can be easily translated using a text editor.

Licensing notes:

Linux was inspired by MINIX and Unix, but Linux and GNU code was written from scratch.
BSD was originally based on code copyrighted by AT&T, but over the period 1989–1994, was rewritten to purge all AT&T code.
The Single UNIX Specification controls access to the Unix trademark, owned by The Open Group.
Novell purchased the Unix copyright from AT&T, which it still owns as of August 2010 (see SCO v. Novell).
The Santa Cruz Operation purchased the right to develop and sublicense SCO OpenServer and UnixWare from Novell, which it sold to what is now (2010) the SCO Group (see SCO v. Novell).
IBM AIX is a licensed Unix derivative, as is HP-UX

current	20:09, 4 January 2020	2,012 × 1,462 (115 KB)	SouthernWolf95	Updated to be accurate as of 2019. Expanded SVG dimensions to better fit new information and render correctly.

	19:53, 4 January 2020	1,972 × 1,447 (115 KB)	SouthernWolf95	Updated information to be accurate as of the end of 2019. Fixed dimension and text formatting issues.
	19:45, 4 January 2020	1,960 × 1,358 (77 KB)	SouthernWolf95	Reverted to version as of 00:32, 13 June 2018 (UTC) due to issues with text formatting in the SVG
	19:34, 4 January 2020	1,972 × 1,447 (115 KB)	SouthernWolf95	Updated to make information accurate as of the end of 2019. Also slightly expanded SVG dimensions to better fit graphics contained within it.
	00:32, 13 June 2018	1,960 × 1,358 (77 KB)	Oknazevad	Reverted to version as of 03:29, 5 December 2017 (UTC) Thise lines make readability worse, not better, as they go right through text.
	12:41, 18 January 2018	1,960 × 1,358 (113 KB)	Sae1962	Zeitlinien für die Jahrzehnte hinzugefügt
	03:29, 5 December 2017	1,960 × 1,358 (77 KB)	Oknazevad	Reverted to version as of 17:20, 26 November 2017 (UTC) compete double revert
	03:29, 5 December 2017	1,960 × 1,358 (80 KB)	Oknazevad	Reverted to version as of 19:14, 19 November 2017 (UTC) because the most recent changes aren't showing up in thumbnail, having to double revert to try to fix
	17:20, 26 November 2017	1,960 × 1,358 (77 KB)	Oknazevad	Although now using a BSD codebase, OpenServer 10 does have code from previous versions and old UnixWare versions, too, to act as a successor to both. So, they should be linked. Also, the skulls were cheesy anyway.
