Then there is some serious confusion here.   We have always been told
that OBS was a part of the openSUSE Project.  And the name openSUSE
Build Service lends to that belief that it is under the openSUSE
umbrella, rather than being called the SUSE Build Service.   If that is
not the case, then we have been seriously misled here for a very long
time.  

So now...  I'm concerned that we've been told this is an openSUSE
project, we've been marketing it as such, we've been actively talking to
the FOSS community as such and it turns out it doesn't belong to us.
By comparison, the SUSE Studio product has always been clearly stated as
not being part of the openSUSE Project umbrella and we acted accordingly
recognizing the marketing efforts to be a partnership, not a domain of
openSUSE.  

So, I'm at a loss now with this sudden change of what's been said to us
for at least the past year repeatedly being wrong.  Maybe we need to
pull back on marketing until we can get further clarification that this
is indeed true and if so, why we were misled for the past year.
