No. Licensed Unix implementations are a proprietary flexible general purpose operating system originally marketed for minicomputers and mid-range computers to support multiple users and tasks. When Personal Computers became available, versions of Unix were created for them. Unix was also implemented for the IBM mainframe.

This is not the same as Linux which is an open source free system with many of the same capabilities and look & feel of unix but without the licensing requirement of unix.
