Non compete? In operating systems? Novell has had an OS for a long time. Desktops? Novell
owned desktop software a long time ago.

SCO CEO: Novell-SuSE breaks SCO contract (InfoWorld)

I guess SCO are implying Unix space, not OS in general. If so, one might say that Novell operated in DOS/ Windows related space. Linux, however, clearly belongs to Unix space; whether developed independently or not doesn't even matter ...

I am very curious to see the exact agreement between Novell and SCO, though. SCO already misquoted their IBM contracts in an outrageous fashion.

I think they saying this applies because "Linux is a SysV derivative."
