QUESTION:

    How does The Open Group define the term "Operating System" Does this
    apply to the kernel or the complete distribution?

ANSWER:

    The Open Group's intent is that this applies only to the kernel
    of the operating system, without regard to any bundled utilities
    or application software. This includes all known distributions of
    Linux and BSD distributions.
