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.
That's because UNIX is a trademark and OS vendors will have to pay fees to opengroup.org in order to call their OS Unix.
