Note, however, that UNIX is a trademark of AT&T Bell Laboratories so the legal answer is "definitely not". The technical answer is more a matter of opinion. In my case, I consider the traditional set of user-mode utilities to be an essential part of UNIX and would not buy a UNIX system where these are all different or missing.
