So your saying that only SUSE can be professional services for their distro? No one else can make consulting fees from using their knowledge of the software? hmm... Very interesting. :)
No, I think he means that SuSE want intermediaries to join their partner program. SuSE gets revenues, and the partners get software, brochures, contacts, whatever, for a yearly fee.
Yes looks likes I missed an important letter "y" which made the sentence to mean something else. It should be like below meaning if businesses imply to much control on their business environment in the long run they themselves become the one missing their opportunities. So it is better to help create business rather then destroy it while the former is difficult the later is very easy. Having to control the business environment to much does have a boomerang effect.
