Novell Says SCO Doesn't Own Unix (UPDATED)

By Mitch Wagner

Novell on Wednesday challenged SCO's ownership of the intellectual
property of Unix, saying that Novell, rather than SCO, owns the IP.
The statement casts doubt on SCO's $1 billion intellectual property
lawsuit against IBM, and on its warning to Linux users that they,
too, might be in violation of SCO's intellectual property.

SCO defended its claims in a brief e-mail statement.

"SCO owns the contract rights to the Unix operating system. SCO has
the contractual right to prevent improper donations of Unix code,
methods or concepts into Linux by any Unix vendor," the company said.
