The truth, or a reasonable facsimile, is out there. Somewhere.

In what he calls an open-source letter, former Novell executive Joe Firmage details the internal battles that led to the sale of the licensing rights for Unix to SCO and how that decision is now roiling the Linux market. Last we heard of old Joe, he'd been booted out of USWeb (a company he founded) to pursue his dream of uncovering the truth about UFOs (i.e., he wants to find flying saucers).

We need to get Chris Carter (who created the X-files) to work on a script! Just imagine what he could do with Joe "Fox Mulder" Firmage with Darl MacBride as, well, any one of the bad guys. Do you suppose we could talk HP's Carly Fiorina into the role of Firmage's partner?
