It's a set of smaller tools that are developed in the same repository and all released together, all sharing some amount of code.

That basically makes it monolithic, even if there's separate binaries that the user calls.

Doesn't you description make Linux monolithic?

You mean the Linux kernel specifically? I think most people do regard it as a monolithic kernel, even if there are modules you can load and unload.
