Please, not another flamewar over what is is is not Unix!
While it's true that by the strictest of definitions the named systems are
not Unix, it's also true that all have the look, feel and capabilities of
Unix and, in the case of the BSDs, are derived from the parent stock from
which the unices you name descend.
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck, it's
probably a duck, no matter what you might call it otherwise.
