AT&T gave up Unix to Novel via USL back around 1992 -- 15 years ago.
Lucent has a couple of software pieces... I think the NMAKE program went to
them along with the Sublime version control stuff. I know they used to sell
that stuff along with (IIRC -- memory hazy here) the DWB and Programmers
Workbench stuff.

I would
guess that the intellectual property rights of UNIX ended up with
Alcatel-Lucent, but, that whole related series of trades, spin-offs and
mergers has left me a bit confused. In any case, WHOEVER now owns the
rights to UNIX would probably be interested in the fact that some
version of their code is being sold without license.
Depends on who you listen to- SCO-Caldera think they got it from
Novell, Novell thinks that they still have it from when they bought out
AT&T's share of USL and SCO-Caldera only has rights to use...
At any rate the UNIX trademarks went to The Open Group, nee UNIX
International.
