Hardly... except for gcc which would take some scrambling to replace, 
the gnu utilities in linux distros could easily be replaced with 
counterparts from the *bsd's, opensolaris, or any commercial unix 
version.  And the Linux kernel could be swapped with a bsd, opensolaris, 
or commercial unix in a distro running GNU utilities.  There might be a 
bit of work duplicating each other's exact bugs, but things could have 
as easily been developed that way in the first place.
