Roy Roy Roy.. *shakes head* I know you and your drove of mentally ill deluded followers are polluting this and every other site that doesn't control the content but seriously, don't you have anything better to do in life than try to troll every SuSE related post?
You should read up on your sickness, it's quite fascinating : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsessive-compulsive_ ...
Also I find several of your features and comments to fit the description of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antisocial_personalit ... - Alberto78, on 07/29/2008, -0/+3Roy, as I have already tried to explain you on your site, you misunderstand the terms of the licence and of the GPL itself. openSUSE can be used for professional purposes. The note included in the licence refers to commercial use of Novell's brands, and it is very clear in the licence itself.

You trust Novell too much. - schestowitz, on 07/30/2008, -4/+1And now a word from Stafford Masie, formerly of Novell, about the Microsoft Novell deal and VMware…
"…virtualization is very very key, customers want to utilize Linux as either a host operating system with Microsoft as a guest operating system, or vice versa, and yes wea re going to support the XEN technology there, the XEN hypervisor technology, Microsoft is going to support it too. Yes, there is a competitive angle there, yes we’re coming at VMware yes yes yes we are, ok thats part of it because but we’re doing it in an open source way, so were going to support the XEN technologies in our server platforms and togther collaborate and ensure it works properly, supported properly, etc
"Now as far as thats concerned, thats the technology aspects of it, now its broad from a Linux perspective, they’re essentially saying that anyone who is an OpenSUSE contributor is covered under the covenant. the covenant essentially is a patent agreement between Novell and Microsoft that says if you participate in the OpenSUSE distribution… as long as its not for commercial gain, that you are covered by this covenant, that they will not exercise what they believe is their patent rights… " - schestowitz, on 07/29/2008, -8/+1'Thanks' to Novell, OpenSUSE is 'permitted' only as long as you don;t make money from it (hobbyist). Better wait for other KDE 4.1 distros.
