Novells claims are not very credible.... I mentioned that the USL laboratories from AT&T (including the people who work there) have been handed over from AT&T to Novell and later to SCO. It is most unlikely that these people did not terminate their contract in case the ownership of the code has not been transfered to the respective new owner of the company.
