Licensing not selling

Despite claims of ownership by SCO in the recent sale, Novell points out that SCO didn't own the technology, they just licensed it.

SCO wasn't selling UNIX(tm) to Microsoft and others, they were licensing it.  SCO's license with Novell from 1995 allowed them to sublicense it to others, but they did not own it and therefore could not sell it.
