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. Kinda like, Kleenex is both a brand of tissue and the generic name for tissues. Is the same true for unix? -- John L.
