Nor are they required to; they probably bought nothing much more than the
copyright/trademark to the name and the rights to the file formats, possibly
also the original source to WP 6.x.
WP 5.x was, if memory serves, the last product released by WPCorp. Novell
probably bought the 6.0 upgrade, but it is doubtful they would have paid
much, if anything, for the by then obsolete 5.x versions.
