"Then there is the history of the ownership of Unix. AT&T invented the operating system, which it sold to Novell, which in turn sold it to SCO in 1995."

No, Novell sold its licensing business and development rights to the /Santa/ /Cruz/ /Operation/ in 1995. They, in turn, sold them to Caldera -- which much later changed its name to "The SCO Group." The FUD factory of today is _not_ the company which bought a licensing business from Novell.
