With your comments about lying to people you talk to, and general
trollishness, you could have fooled me

Meanwhile, those people are all (or almost all) employed by Novell, and they
wouldn't stand quiet in the face of a GPL violation. None of us would.

Did it ever occur to you that Novell has won against Microsoft in the past?
Did you ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, they will again? That the
millions spent on open source development (yes in the west, but I detest your
racist remark about Indian developers) were not just window dressing?

Please stop just repeating what you heard the Debian crowd screaming about,
they have *always* hated suse, and think about things
