Well what technology did they license or "could" they license to SCO other than the copyright to the software?

SCO CEO: Novell-SuSE breaks SCO contract (InfoWorld) Posted Nov 18, 2003 19:42 UTC (Tue) by stanmuffin (guest, #16955) [Link] Which software?The point is, Novell sold UNIX SVRx and UnixWare to old-SCO (the Santa Cruz Operation) in 1995, and as a term of the deal, agreed not to use the same technologies sold to old-SCO to compete against old-SCO. Even if we assume that The SCO Group inherited the non-compete agreement from the Santa Cruz Operation, The SCO Group is lying when they say that the agreement prevents Novell from competing with them in the Unix-on-Intel business. The agreement only refers to the technologies that Novell sold to old-SCO in 1995. And Novell did not sell SuSE Linux to old-SCO in 1995.
