I have been reading software development methodologies. I came across a line which says that agile methods include Rational Unified Process, Scrum, Crystal Clear, Extreme Programming, Adaptive Software Development, Feature Driven Development, and Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM). What I wonder is whether RUP should be in the list.

Rational Unified Process (RUP) is an agile software development methodology. RUP splits the project life cycle into four phases. During each of the phases, all six core development disciplines take place: business modelling, requirements, analysis and design, implementation, testing, and deployment.
RUP (Rational Unified Process) is an adaptable process framework of iterative software development methodologies. RUP addresses several criticisms of Waterfall development such as rigidity.
Rational Unified Process is an Iterative and Incremental process, though by default the average cycle time to deliver working software is still quite long. I personally count RUP as borderline agile, close to long-iterative or short-water-fall.
Agile Unified Process (AUP) is a simplified version of the Rational Unified Process (RUP) developed by Scott Ambler. It describes a simple, easy to understand approach to developing business application software using agile techniques and concepts yet still remaining true to the RUP.
Rational Unified Process is an Iterative and Incremental process, though by default the average cycle time to deliver working software is still quite long. I personally count RUP as borderline agile, close to long-iterative or short-water-fall.
Its more recent brother, OpenUp, is supposedly a more agile version, concentrating on the core aspects of RUP and doing away with many of the less desirable parts.
If you're looking to be "very agile", the Unified Process is probably not going to give you the most flexibility in the end.
