While yes, concepts and architecture may be similar, and some use that as the benchmark for derivations of code in unix history timelines, I'd hardly call them the same or attempt to claim that one was "based" on the other beyond that they are "based" as being unices and have certain architectural similarities. Just because a house and a church both have a roof doesn't mean one copied the other. 

You might wish to read http://www.dina.dk/~abraham/Linus_vs_Tanenbaum.html to see the differences between the Linux and Minux archtectures. See they had arguments in e-mail even then :-)
