Both are accurate. Something can be Unix-like (using many of the same paradigms and keywords and such) without being derived from the source code of Unix, but BSD actually is originally based on that code. Linux is Unix-like but not Unix-based. BSD is both, as is MacOS. Windows is neither.

SUS means "Single Unix Specification," I think. When it went from being an OS to being a spec, that's what they called the certification.

Though "SUSpect" would be a great pun on the idea, yeah. Big "Among Us" opportunities.
