What about people living in countries like, for instance, Cuba? They can't even 
report a bug because
they can not log-into Bugzilla, requiring registering at Novell, which refuses 
because of the laws
as USA, I guess...

I can understand why Novell has to do that, but do we (openSUSE) need to do 
that as well?

We are commenting on such a case just now, in the Spanish list. A Cuban wants 
to become an openSUSE
ambassador, but can't. We have to admire the difficulties of all sorts he has 
for installing
openSUSE (with our help, folks of the Spanish list). This denial of 
registration is one more.
