From the little I've seen, I'd bet on there being more truth to SCO's claims to own Unix patents and copyrights than to Novell's claims that SCO doesn't.

Ownership is not a precise thing, and I think we're just arguing about legal technicalities here. Like maybe Novell is the holder of record of the copyright but contractually assigned to SCO all the ability to profit from it.
