I was wondering if Linux can be considered Unix?It is a flavor of unix is general, if that's what you're asking. You

Is there a semantic difference between being like something or a clone
of something, and being that thing in the English language?
I'm just thinking of the statement, GNU's Not Unix.
Does that mean that GNU/Linux is a OS with unix like functionality,
kinda like Windows with Service For Unix, or OS/2 with its POSIX layer,
or is GNU/Linux an unix.
I don't think that Apache/Python/Gnu/Linux can in any sense be considered to _be_ unix, except that in general it's coded to the same standards.
Note that the much-awaited GNU operating system is still coming.
