Novell will continue to own NovellÂs UNIX copyrights following completion of the merger as a subsidiary of Attachmate. Novell filed a Form 8-K/A with the SEC on November 22, 2010, with respect to the Merger Agreement.
Didn't the various recent trials show that the UNIX copyrights really weren't an issue anymore? Why does anyone care about the UNIX copyrights?
The patents are potentially a different story (but one would have to think that many of them are nearing expiration anyway.) There's a little more in TheReg - http://www.theregist...chmate_statement/
Cheers,
Scott.
