Further on this, in this interview with SCO's Chris Sontag
http://www.computerworld.com/softwaretopics/os/linux/story/0,10801,81613,00.html?nas=AM-81613
there is the response to Novell's claim.

----
Novell Inc. says the 1995 agreement governing SCO's purchase of Unix System V 
from Novell doesn't convey copyrights. What's your response? We certainly 
have a point of contention regarding their interpretation of that contract. 
We have statements from all the major parties that were involved in that 
contract that all the business and IP-related property of Unix and UnixWare 
was transferred to SCO. I think this is just a desperate act on their part to 
curry favor with the Linux community.

This was linked from /. - apologies if you've seen it. Figured the paragraph 
above was particularly relevant to the pervious post.
