In other words, to my way of thinking, Novell takes no responsibility for the software which it provides as part of openSUSE. 'Novell' is just a community member contributing to the project, just as you and me. Why would you expect the 'person' with the name 'Novell' to be more liable to this project than anybody else?
Uh, somehow Novell is not _just_ another community member contributing to the project. Novell sells SLED+SLES which are for all intents and purposes 99% openSUSE. That gives Novell a major project interest, far more than any other project member I'd venture to say. Also, many of the people with whom we communicate here, in bugzilla or elsewhere are in fact Novell employees, many former SuSE employees too.

(No, I'm not affiliated with the company 'Novell'. This is my view of the things).
Dominique, you need better glasses - there is no way Novell is as loosely connected to openSUSE as you are suggesting. /Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
