The reason they BSD UNIX systems like FreeBSD or NetBSD do not have the certification sign is propably because of the price you have to pay for it:
Shipments (Units) ........ Annual Fee
Up to 1 000 ............... $25 000
1 000 to 30 000 .......... $50 000
more than 30 000 ........ $110 000

... and generally, why pay if you already are UNIX?
The most funny part is that you have to pay all this money for every architecture you want you UNIX to be certified on ... imagine the price for NetBSD ...
