Hi,

I'm not the most reliable one to talk about that that but here is what I've heard about it:
Unix was an expensive program that was used (long, long, long) as the only good way to maitain a network (the other way was IBM I think) and linus started making an OS that was free. The point is that it's not built on the same code. GNULinux is made to work as an unix system would. It's like some kind of computing cameleons.

Sorry if I wasn't clear ;)
