Unix systems are highly modular. Most programs can be swapped out with a replacement just by replacing the binary. Configuration files are usually in plaintext format, although their formats can vary.

What are the key difference bitween freely distributable unix and propretary implementtation?

Freely distributable Unix/Linux systems come with the source code, which can be modified. Proprietary Unix systems are distributed as binary only, with no source code, so you can't modify the system (easily). Other reasons are legal: the proprietary systems are copyrighted, and the freely distributable versions should not have any copywritten code in them, thus allowing them to be distributed without licensing arrangements.
