difference between unix and linux?

Ok, I'm confused.

Can someone answer these (stupid) questions please for me?

1. What is the difference between unix and linux?
2. Is FreeBSD a unix distribution?
3. If not, then what is Unix? I actually gone to Unix.com because I thought this is it's official website where I could download Unix or something, but instead I get on a fansite forum, or technical forum, whatever you may call it.
