Under that contract, Novell may require SCO "to amend supplement, modify or waive any rights under, or...assign any rights to, any (Unix System V) license to the extent so directed" by Novell. If SCO fails to do what Novell instructs, Novell "shall be authorized, and is hereby granted, the rights to take any action on (SCO's) own behalf."
