Linux is not UNIX. BSD isn't either.

UNIX is a trademark of The Open Group (www.opengroup.org); see
www.unix.org for OpenGroup's unix section.

No Linux or BSD systems have passed the UNIX certification programs.
The list is: http://www.opengroup.org/openbrand/register/
and can be summarized as: Solaris, AIX, UnixWare (SCO),
HP-UX, IRIX (SGI), NCR UNIX, UX (NEC)

There is a Linux Base certification from OpenGroup that 12 different
companies have passed.
