It's true, MacOS is now officially a flavour of UNIX. See?

Umm, is there a link that you were meant to of posted for proof? I'm a mac user and proud of it, I'm not trying to prove you wrong. I've never really understood what UNIX is. I looked at the wikipedia article to see what UNIX is. I didn't really understand - is it an operating system-ish thing?

Well, there is a link. Click on the word "See".
UNIX is no longer a specific operating system. It's a type of operating system that conforms to a particular standard.

Unix is Open Source. Those things aren't, last I checked. Noww they're trying to say Open Source stuff is suddenly changing to non-open, or did I misunderstand?

No it's not. Linux is not the same thing as UNIX. Linux is a GNU operating system, and GNU stands for GNU's Not UNIX. However, Linux and UNIX are very similar.
UNIX is not open-source, but Linux is.
It's also true that MacOS X's kernel IS open-source, and thus you can take the MacOS X kernel, copy it, modify it, whatever you like, but everything above that - Quicktime, Quartz, Core Animation, Core Video, Core Audio, Aqua, etc... that's all proprietary.
