The terms of Novell's sale included this gem:
... at Seller's sole discretion and direction, Buyer shall amend, supplement, modify, or waive, any rights under, or shall assign any rights to, any SVRX License to the extent so directed in any manner or respect by Seller.<nobr> <wbr></nobr>... Seller shall be authorized, and is hereby granted, the rights to take any action on Buyer's own behalf.

When SCO (Caldera Intl) tried to revoke IBM's irrevokable license to SysV for AIX, Novell told SCO that wasn't allowed.
