Wouldn't openSLES also play in the "unpaid for" business? At least regarding the costs from a user/customer perspective.
Also from the other cost perspective, at least some 99% of it. ;-) (Anyone claiming that CentOS is an OS or Linux distribution of its own merit really misses that aspect.)
It will be quite tricky to support software for several years and you need experts to do so. Are there enough real experts in the community who are willing to take on such an important and time-consuming role?
Some other Linux distributions (Debian comes to mind) and the BSDs have been demonstrating that it can work out. But things like that are always hard to predict. My question would be along the line of Andreas' and others: what do we feel will benefit the openSUSE project and distribution most?
