It's a lot like the folks claiming that the Caldera license grant was invalid because a judge later ruled the copyrights never left Novel, so Caldera couldn't make the grant to ancient Unix. It's a big messy area that the current Unix copyright holders aren't wading into at all (in that case, it's exacerbated by the fact that 32V was distributed w/o copyright notices, casting there being a copyright to convey at all).
