Do they all run the same kernel and have similar low level tools? Then they're all part of the Linux family and Unix legacy.
It's when we go beyond that and add package management, maybe a GUI, project standards with goals and leadership, and more does something go from Linux and some tools to Yet Another Operating System Based On The Linux Kernel. But they're all Linux at heart and that's all my point was.
It's because there is no standard for Linux in regards to anything....ANYTHING...that means that any system that uses the Linux kernel is a Linux OS.
