   “Technically” an OS is the smallest piece of software needed to run any other software, ie a layer that “simplifies” access to hardware. During the 80’s some people started diluting the meaning by calling other software bundled with the kernel for “OS”, often user land tools, like a CLI and/or libraries. This has been used by otherwise great men, like RMS, to further their own goals. Nowadays people claim anything to be an OS, like a website (ie webos) and/or a complete Linux distribution.

   This is like saying that Linux is UNIX. Come on! Do you know what Linux mean? Linux Is Not UniX. OS X is based on NEXTSTEP and FreeBSD. It is NOT a UNIX kernel but it is compliant with the UNIX standard thus providing every command line tool and shell that UNIX support, just as Linux do.
