I'm skeptical that Microsoft has any copyrights on SVR4 code. First, I've never before heard claims that any Xenix code was transferred into System V. Secondly, if there were any such copyrights, they probably were transferred when Microsoft sold their stake in the original SCO.

The situation where Novell initially sold SCO the Unix software *without* the copyrights was very unusual.
