    The OG Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) is a direct descendant of Unix. I personally wouldn’t qualify this particular version as a “Unix-like”.

      Yeah, reading these comments, it looks like they are not legally able to call it unix, despite having direct lineage. Linux however is a complete re-write, making it more obviously not proper unix by most definitions.
