Where would the guidelines state that the Chameleon HAS to be part of every single icon?
Icon or logo?
Quote from the artwork guidelines page:
"Please refer to the openSUSE Trademak guidelines if you want to
redistribute openSUSE-based projects with openSUSE logos."
Both LEAP and Tumbleweed are official parts of the openSUSE project,
no? If so, note that the brand guidelines are there to disambiguate
official openSUSE projects from the general public as stated on the
trademark page:
"With these Guidelines, we wish to encourage widespread use of the
openSUSE trademarks by the openSUSE community while managing that use
to protect the distinctive value of the trademarks and avoid confusion
on the part of op"enSUSE users and the general public. The sections
that follow describe the openSUSE Marks covered by these Guidelines,
as well as uses of these Marks that are allowed, uses that are not
allowed, and uses that are only allowed with specific permission. See
"Contact Information" below to request permission."
It is not so much that you MUST include it in symbols/logos/whatever
that represent parts of the official project, but rather that failing
to do so does not protect the distinctive value of the trademarks, or
avoid confusion on the part of openSUSE users and the general public.

The openSUSE Trademark guidelines do not require the use of the openSUSE logo, they just control and set the terms of use of the openSUSE logo, which is a Registered Trademark
The Tumbleweed and Leap logos are the official, valid, logos of the Tumbleweed and Leap distributions produced by the openSUSE Project
Actually, for openSUSE brand awareness, you probably should include part of the chameleon. Suit yourself though. Shame... someone really spent a lot of time on the branding guidelines to have them ignored.
We don't need to blast the chameleon on everything we do
