Info needed in Linux history


I have a fair knowledge on the o/s available.But I am curious to know whats are non-technical differences between linux and unix, like why does unix cost while linux is free and what was to need to emulate unix as linux and also some superficial technical details.BTW a comprehensive list of all the o/s available along with their manafacturers and the type(Open source/paid) would be of great help.
I know a quick google would do all this but then I am too lazy for that

too lazy to googling out?

come on, place your hands on your keyboard and start searching. Don't waste your time on not searching on your interest of knowing such OS concepts.

for me it is addicted to know everything between these OS's
