I believe that Linux is pretty much compliant with the Single Unix
Specification (v3) which is what you have to be to be eligible for the
Unix brand.
However, in common parlance, I still see people making a distinction
between Unix, BSD, and Linux, even though BSD is as Unix as can be and
there's more commonality between BSD, Linux and say Solaris than there
is between Ultrix, SCO OpenServer, AIX and HPUX.
