/usr/src/linux/fs/reiserfs/README
indicates GPLv2. Novell, of course, can make claim to
anything it wishes, but one hopes it can prove its claim
in open court. The files I have are dated 2002.
As for Reiser committing murder, that is also to be
discussed in court, presumably. Not sure how relevant
it is to code quality, though yttrx (I don't have his
full email) has made some interesting allegations here
regarding reiserfs's quality in the past (mostly related
to its non-transactional nature internally).
