Novell owned the Unix IP. (See TFA, Unix Wars) In the following, SCO means Caldera, who renamed itself to SCO. Novell licensed Unix rights to SCO where SCO would send 95% of sales to Novell and SCO would keep 5%. (Who sounds like the owner here?) This is all thoroughly documented on Groklaw. The entire court dockets, all filings, motions, etc. It's all there to read, part of history. SCO later tried to claim that the agreement somehow transferred ownership of Unix to SCO. This resulted in a separate trial from SCO vs IBM. The judge found in Novell's favor in a bench trial. SCO appealed they should have had a jury trial. The Jury also found Novell owned Unix and SCO did not somehow get it via the license agreement. SCO appealed, and again the appeal court found for Novell. SCO got exactly what it paid for. Rights to resell its Unix derived OS. SCO could have negotiated to license more rights than it did.
