Technically, FreeBSD is also not Unix, but "Unix-like". Unix is still
trademarked, and has been sold a couple of times since AT&T sold it...I
think Novell still has it at this point. OTOH, much of what is in the
"real" Unices (mostly SVR4 at this point) was developed at Berkeley, and
the current *BSD's were developed from the same source. Linux, OTOH, was
developed from the ground up with no BSD code.
