Is unraid a Linux distribution?

Is unraid a Linux distribution?

If so, where is the code for the open source part of the kernel, for example?
If not, can it be understood that unraid is a collection of slackware-based packages rather than an OS? In this case, since unraid distributes installation packages that include slackware, in order to comply with the GPL License, unraid should also provide its own distribution of the linux kernel and other GPL software source code it uses.

You know, not open source linux is not legal, I will not buy it before confirming the legality of unraid

Unraid is based on Slackware.

In the directory /usr/src/linux-$(uname -r) you'll find everything you need to compile a Kernel for Unraid with all patches and so on (basically the source)...

You will find everything on Github:
