My geek friends take umbrage even at mere 'Linux'. The correct usage is
'GNU Linux'. Given that a lot of Richard Stallman's work benefited Linux,
I think this is a reasonable expectation.

Phil: what Henry said.
Henry: I thin what Phil means
is that to even give the slightest hint of "derived",
even when that is clearly not what was stated. [sigh; legalities]
all: Eric Raymond has a good clarification of
three meanings for Unix, one of which clearly applies to Linux.
http://www.opensource.org/sco-vs-ibm.html
See the section entitled "The meaning of `Unix'".
He defines
Unix-family (including Linux)
genetic Unix, and
trademark Unix
Very nice.
