The people commenting are not from the legal department of Novell.  The 
issues have to be sent to the proper people.  You are taking gross liberty 
in pronounceing openSUSE as OSS hostile.  You are dead wrong.  These 
matters are on a public mail list.  You have to go to Novell to get the 
proper replies and such.  You are talking on the factory email list.  This 
list is about what is happening currently.  These things take time.  You 
need to get in touch with the proper people in Authority.  Every person on 
this list is able to speak their opinion.  They are just that personal 
opinions.  You need to take this up with proper channels and the Novell 
legal team.  This list is not the place and I have not seen anyone saying 
they are speaking on behalf of the openSUSE project.
