In which case the Evolution in gnome-cvs cannot be the evolution Novell
wishes because the Novell people demand assignment. 

Your own argument above says it should be a fork of evolution that is in
gnome CVS. A free software fork. Developers can then choose to also
contribute to the Novell assignment version if they wish as a gesture of
thanks and good will.
