There's nothing really unique about Linux's licensing, it's just the GPL version 2.
However it is regarded as unique among operating systems where operating systems tend to be walled off, highly proprietary bundles of software that, in some cases, users aren't even allowed to modify or replace.
Linux, on the other hand, is all about letting you give it away, change what you want, even get rid of it if you want to.

How can Linux be a free operating system when it is comparable to Microsoft Windows which sells for approximately 299.00?
Because that's what the most of the people who develop and distribute it are willing to charge for it. The licensing of Linux actually doesn't stop anybody from selling it for whatever price they want.
Why do many web servers run Linux?

Which unique services are provided by Linux that are not available on other operating systems?
Strictly speaking, it isn't a matter of what Linux can do and what others cannot; most of the software available for Linux was written for older ones or has been ported. What is special about Linux is its low cost and its high performance compared to other common alternatives.

Open-source software refers to software that that has licensing terms that allows modification and distribution.
What are Linux licensing issues?
Linux is licensed under the GPL. This means that if you use the kernel in one of your products, you must release any changes that you made. You can use proprietary modules, but these are restricted in what they are allowed to do. Only freely licensed modules can access all features of the kernel.
