I don't see where licensing Unix under GPL affects anything. This license was not offered at the time the alleged copyright violations took place was it?

Also, remember that what SCO did that brought Novell to the microphone was order IBM to stop shipping AIX, under SCO's privilege as Unix copyright holder. Novell said, "SCO doesn't own that copyright, we do, and go right ahead and ship AIX, IBM." A GPL license from the Unix copyright owner, whoever it might be, wouldn't be useful to IBM for AIX purposes.

since they are alleging continuing violation of their copyright, it very definitely does matter.
