  Not those people.  ;-)

  Seriously, though, "Linux" is starting to mean "anything that smells
like Unix, or has touched Free/Open Source Software", much like "Unix"
has come to mean "anything that smells like the 'Unix Time-Sharing
System' created by Ken Thompson, et. al., at AT&T Bell Labs".  I've
encountered people who say things like "BSD is like Linux, right?".

  Given that humans invented language, we sure seem to suck at using it.  :)
