"Judge Dale Kimball has issued a 102-page ruling on the numerous summary judgment motions in SCO v. Novell. Here is what matters most: [T]he court concludes that Novell is the owner of the UNIX and UnixWare Copyrights. The court also ruled that "SCO is obligated to recognize Novell's waiver of SCO's claims against IBM and Sequent". There are a couple of loose ends, but the big picture is, SCO lost. Oh, and it owes Novell a lot of money from the Microsoft and Sun licenses", GrokLaw writes.

IT's amazing how much misinformation commentors are posting on this board. You are completely and utterly wrong.
That 2 year period had absolutely nothing to do with ownership of the Unix copyrights, or the rights to license said copyrights, whatsoever. It was regarding future derivatives that SCO WOULD own the copyrights to, and Novell's rights under a LICENSE SCO granted to them. Read the ruling for Christ's sakes, it says so right in it. Don't rely on news sites that also apparently don't know how to read.
