What is the modern vanilla UNIX?

Before you bark "Google" or some other reference, I have tried to get my head around this for the past 8 months.

I want to know, who makes a vanilla UNIX. Not a flavour of UNIX.

.....vanilla, plain, boring, original current UNIX.

I understand that all these different companies make versions or "flavours" of UNIX, but where is the AT&T/Bell Labs version of UNIX?

I'm not trying to develop my own version or anything, but where does the modern day version come from? The last time I asked this question, I was told that BSD UNIX or SOLARIS are the only current vanilla flavours, but I can't find BSD UNIX. I can find FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD FireflyBSD.

Can anyone give me a dumb persons answer so I can just have peace of mind please.

Thank you.

net::server::proto::unix

Net::Server::Proto::UNIX(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation			     Net::Server::Proto::UNIX(3pm)

NAME

       Net::Server::Proto::UNIX - Net::Server UNIX protocol.

SYNOPSIS

       See Net::Server::Proto.

DESCRIPTION

       Protocol module for Net::Server.  This module implements the UNIX SOCK_STREAM socket type.  See Net::Server::Proto.

       Any sockets created during startup will be chown'ed to the user and group specified in the starup arguments.

PARAMETERS

       The following paramaters may be specified in addition to normal command line parameters for a Net::Server.  See Net::Server for more
       information on reading arguments.

       unix_type
	   Can be either SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM (default is SOCK_STREAM).  This can also be passed on the port line (see Net::Server::Proto).

	   However, this method is deprecated.	If you want SOCK_STREAM - just use proto UNIX without any other arguments.  If you'd like
	   SOCK_DGRAM, use the new proto UNIXDGRAM.

METHODS

       NS_unix_path/NS_unix_type
	   In addition to the standard NS_ methods of Net::Server::Proto classes, the UNIX types also have legacy calls to NS_unix_path and
	   NS_unix_type.

	   Since version 2.000, NS_unix_path is simply an alias to NS_port.  NS_unix_type is now redundant with NS_proto.

	   These methods were missing between version 2.000 and 2.003 but have been returned as legacy bridges.

QUICK PARAMETER LIST

	 Key		   Value		    Default

	 # deprecated UNIX socket parameters
	 unix_type	   (SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_DGRAM) SOCK_STREAM
	 port		   "filename"		    undef

	 # more recent usage
	 port		   "filename / UNIX"
	 port		   "filename / UNIXDGRAM"
