Appearently there was an ammendment that turned up which supports the view
that Novell did sell SCO "copyright". However, they did not sell existing
contracts, other than permitting SCO to collect on Novell's behalf.
Curiously, if SCO did somehow succeed in suing IBM, 95% of any collected
funds would rightly belong to Novell. But again, since the licenses in
question remain between Novell and outside parties, I do not understand SCO's
standing in the trade secret suit with IBM. The rest of it seems based on a
false claim to other people's copyrights.
