Attachmate To Retain Novell Unix Copyrights

Posted by samzenpus on from the mine-now-I-keep-it dept.

angry tapir writes "Novell's copyrights for the Unix operating system will remain under Attachmate's control as part of the companies' pending merger, a Novell spokesman has revealed. The confirmation, which came in a terse message posted to Novell's website, seems to rule out questions of whether Unix assets are part of some 882 patents being sold to a Microsoft-led consortium, CPTN Holdings, as part of the deal."

    Sequent patented read-copy-update, now owned by IBM. There may be others. But none from Novell, as far as I know.
