What do you mean by "unix" and what do you mean by "linux"?

By "unix" do you mean the original AT&T SysV or 44BSD, or a modern Unix like 
Solaris, IRIX, AIX, SCO, etc. And do you mean just the kernel, all of "kernel 
land", all of user land", everything up to the shell, or everything up to the 
latest desktop applet in the panel? Does it include the build chain, text 
utils, perl, python, Apache, sendmail? And if we count vi as part of Unix, do 
we count the orignal vi, or do we use elvis, vim, nvi, etc.

You get the point, I hope.
