Unix is an entire tree of operating systems, so it would be reasonable 
to say "Darwin is *a* Unix".  Darwin is a Unix because, if you trace 
back its lineage, it has its roots in the original Unixes (SysVR4, BSD, 
etc).

And the reason that linux is marked as a Unix is being linux works very 
much like a Unix, even though it's not actually based in code on Unix at 
all.  So while it's technically not a Unix, it acts like one.  More so 
than Mac OS X, actually ;)
