You see here: https://www.gnu.org/gnu/manifesto.html Quote of RMS: ,---- | GNU, which stands for Gnu's Not Unix, is the name for the complete | Unix-compatible software system which I am writing so that I can give | it away free to everyone who can use it. `---- That is why I say, if you wish to refer to Unix systems, that means only those which are true Unix systems, but does not mean FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, DragonFlyBSD, and others because such are not Unix systems, they are Unix-like systems, as they are not registered and officially recognized as Unix. Also see: Unix-like - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix-like That is why I mentioned that "GNU and other Unix like systems" would be better descriptive, IMHO.
