It is the symbol of the KASHRUT DIVISION of the aforementioned organization. It specifies that the product (and the company) have undergone inspection(s) that allow the product to be certified as KOSHER. These inspections are in general performed by rabbis appointed by the Union. Since the symbol is a trademark it cannot be used without prermission of the Union. Dave Channin dchannin at bbnv Somebony wanted to use (U) as the tradmark for UNIX?? Do we now get a lot of jokes about UNIX being kosher? Are the pipes circumsized? Do UNIX systems have to stop between sundown friday and the appearance of three stars on saturday? and of course when you kill any processes you need a rabbi present to insure that you do it properly.
