Characterization of lawsuit... is it correct?

Report from the SCO front
This lawsuit is more about slander than about breech of contract. SCO is
suing Novell because it says that Novell's claims are damaging SCO, not
because there is a dispute. If SCO just wanted the dispute settled they
would ask for a declaratory judgement. Also, I think SCO is trying to slip
in the "and please make them assign registered copyrights" as part of the
injunction. Normally an injunction requires you to stop doing something,
not to take an action like assigning copyrights. And if SCO already owns
the copyrights why do they need to be assigned? Maybe I've just become
distrustful of SCO but this sounds fishy.
IANAL.
