Being independent does not mean Novell cannot sponsor oS, or lets it

the infrastructure...

In fact, that's where we are, as AJ pointed out. Novell has moved from
being a "controller" of openSUSE to being a partner/sponsor of openSUSE.
But apparently, some people just can't see past that.

What of becoming a parter from Novell?
If Novell is for sale, can the community buy it?

Sure. Last time I checked, the Novell price tag was around $2.5
Billion. Pocket change for us in the community! :-)

What is it oS needs, besides the infrastructure and a lot of money?

Contributions! Contributions! Contributions! Doesn't really matter if
we have money and infrastructure if we don't have people stepping up to
take the lead on various tasks.
