Unix is just a newer name for POSIX

It's not about the code. It hasn't been for more than 30 years, since 
Novell bought the original Unix from AT&T. Really, what UNIX™ certification 
means now is what used to be called "POSIX compatible" – an abbreviation 
coined by Richard Stallman, as it happens.

read the article, especially in how Linus approached Linux -- a
POSIX operating system.
