I am not a lawyer... but having said that: Novell owns the copyright to UNIX. Novell distributes Linux under the GPL. If (and that's a big IF) there is any UNIX copywrited code in Linux, Novell has basically GPLed it by being a Linux distributor.

The people buying the stock are most likely shorts who are now covering their positions after massive gains due to the decline in the stock price.
