Come on, impossible. Unix is only operating system that fits into some
Unix standards by those who have Unix trademark.

GNU does not fit. It is Unix-like or similar to Unix. But it is not
Unix.

I am sure that GNU on Linux kernel does not follow this below:

Single UNIX Specification - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_UNIX_Specification

Though GNU is Unix-like, that is what society of computer users agree
to call it that way.

If you ask me, hippopotamus is rhinoceros-like to me, but they are not
same.
