You're 100% right. I did try to acknowledge this by including the OpenBSD screenshot. The terminology of Linux and UNIX is tough to write around in a satisfactory way. I'd like to use "Unix" as a generic term meaning "Linux and UNIX" but people don't always understand that I mean both.
As you probably know, "UNIX" itself is a trademark and refers to a specific thing, and specifically excludes Linux, which leads to obligatory phrases such as "UNIX and Unix-like". I sometimes use "POSIX" to imply that I'm speaking of both, but that refers to a pretty low level of operation and wouldn't make sense in the context of user space. The term "Linux" obviously strictly refers to a kernel.
I'd be keen to hear ideas on good, recognizable, generic terms encompassing Linux, BSD, and Illumos.
I see your point, and I'll raise you a correction. (Clarified in the article text for posterity)
Thanks!
