It probably would take years in court to find out ;-). Novell has the right to stop Caldera to sue. Caldera might have had the right to relicense the code under whatever license they liked to. This was probably the opposite of a FSF copyright transfer agreement: There you transfer (non-exclusively) the right to sue to the FSF, but keep all other rights. In the Novell/Caldera case, Novell transferred all rights to Caldera, except the right to sue.
