Yes.  Control of identity is always a challenge.  We have not even
gotten to the point of discussing whether we would own the openSUSE name
or if it will still be owned by Novell with permission from them to use
it for this purpose.  That's a whole 'nother ballgame, but yes an
important part of the puzzle.  We do however, have the authority now to
determine who may use the openSUSE trademarks on their material (i.e.
print, merchandise, websites, etc.)
