And I will ask - if I ask - the question which pops into my mind right
now as to who actually owns openSUSE after I have read the Guiding
Principles.

It's a free software project: it's owned by its contributors. And if we
get some openSUSE Foundation later on, this won't change: the Foundation
will just handle the legal and financial aspects of the project, but it
will still be owned by the contributors.

Thank you for your response.

I am about to go to bed but had to ask this:

have you read the entries in the wikipedia for "openSUSE" and "openSUSE
Project"?

May I respectfully suggest that someone edit the entries in wikipedia to
reflect the facts which you just stated that, "but [openSUSE] will still
be owned by the contributors." and not by Novell.

(But I have yet to read the Guidelines mentioned by Henne so my response
is based on ignorance of what the Guidelines contain. [But people
reading the wikipedia entries don't see the Guidelines - do they?].)

Kind regards,

BC
