Reading really makes a difference some times. I quote once again:
Most developers of the kernel community consider non-GPL kernel modules to be infringing on their copyright. Novell does respect this position, and will no longer distribute non-GPL kernel modules as part of future products.
<snip> I keep seeing this referred to, but I can't find any reference to it anywhere, I've glanced through the opensuse mail archives, opensuse news, Novell news, searched the Novell site (kernel remove/ban closed source/non-GPL), same with Google, for such a big change, it doesn't seem to have hit any news sites... Either that or the announcement doesn't include any of the keywords above...

Yep, I found that, but that just refers to a change in the mechanism due to this concern. It doesn't explain what exactly is meant by this removal and its implications for end users, and what Novell/SUSE will be doing to ensure their customers aren't affected by this change. Dave
