Technically....

HP-UX is a "UNIX." Solaris, IRIX, AIX, and even the new Mac OSX is UNIX in that it adheres to certain standards for what makes something UNIX. Linux is a UNIX-Like OS, and is sometimes lumped into the UNIX category. Think of it like apples, where Macintosh, Granny Smith and Golden Delicious are all apples, but have diffferences.
