If you read the agreement carefully, it says that Novell cannot use SYSV UNIX (licensed by SCO) to compete against SCO... The whole point is that Linux is not covered by the non compete agreement. The agreement says "Seller (Novell) agrees that it shall use the Licensed Technology only (i) for internal purposes without restriction or (ii) for resale in bundled or integrated products sold by Seller which are not directly competitive with the core products of Buyer and in which the Licensed Technology does not constitute a primary portion of the value of the total bundled or integrated product." "Licensed Technology" was Novell's SYSV UNIX assets, nothing to do with Linux.
