SEC FOIA Requests

My company, Novell, recently postponed our earnings release for the most recent quarter because of an SEC review. Specifically, our company received a second comment letter from the SEC on October 18th.

I am curious about the comment letters. I’m sort of a finance geek, and wonder what the SEC is questioning. Do they have questions about the way we handle Linux revenue? Is it a question about how we accounted for the Microsoft deal?

It is possible to obtain copies of the letters by filing a Freedom of Information Act request with the SEC. I thought about it, but I am not so curious as to actually file a request. If you are super curious, you can find the SEC FOIA request information here.
