No ... take a deep breath, calm down, and read what Novell actually said.  
There has been no uproar, just a few people posting the same thing over and 
over, which is getting very tiresome for those of us who like using SUSE 
rather than inventing conspiracy theories about it.  If people put as much 
effort into learning how to package things for openSUSE (a la Pascal Bleser) 
as they do into wibbling on about this, we would all be a lot better off.
