It's legalese for "we checked our paperwork and this is what we found", I think. It's been awhile since I did any heavy study of law (IANAL, but I did take law classes in college, for what little that's worth). My best guess here is that Novell is basically saying "We have these documents here which say that we still have the copyrights and patent rights, so unless you've got some proof otherwise, this is the best of our knowledge." Or something. Again, I'm not a lawyer, just an amateur legal scholar of sorts.
