If you rarely leave MK then that's probably true, yes.

That's usually more a per-company kind of thing. But most companies want it
that way, so they put it in the rules. It's not any sort of law or anything.
And some salaries at the top are required to be disclosed.

True, especially in public companies.

Short version, to be UNIX it has to be "blessed" by "The Open Group" and
Linux hasn't been.

Actually, Mac OSX, AIX, and Solaris are a few examples of systems that
are UNIX as defined by The Open Group, who owns the trademark.
Linux isn't on that list.

I don't really get that either. Unless it's for tax purposes - for
example, if I move to the UK and get a job, if I make more than $80,000
per year (I think it is), then as a US citizen, I owe the US government
income taxes, even if I'm not living in the US. So I might want to cap
my income below that so I don't have to mess with hiring an accountant to
figure out how much tax I owe to whom.
