The original plan was to sell everything, but old SCO didn't have the money. So, Novell sold them the business to manage on behalf of Novell, with SCO getting a 5% commision. They also got the rights to Unixware going forward. Novell had earlier said they couldn't put code from Unix in Linux, due to ownership problems.
But if Novell own Unix, what would those problems be? It must then be that they own only part of Unix. Who else owns part of the technology and code? Or is the ownership problem that they want to keep owning it, and releasing it to the world ends that? They are entitled to that, of course. I am just curious what the reasons are. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
