Sounds like a condition you need to know about before you elect to send any data - that is once the build you are trying out actually allows you refuse ;)
I think that we just have to tell people to read the small print everywhere - where in the past it was not quite so important. And no doubt the conditions will be changed from update to update :(
Heck MS get you to agree to their LATEST conditions every time you download anything new - you agreed to that by accepting THEIR security update tool so they don't even have to ask you again!
Novell just seems to be heading the same way ?

SO is that accessible on the website somewhere before we get round to
upgrading from on older version? Things like this are reminiscent of
'agree to conditions before opening packaging' and where do you find the
conditions ....
They aren't conditions, they're not mandatory, you can select not to send any information
"You understand and agree that Novell may use any feed back or information You provide and You hereby grant Novell a perpetual and irrevocable licence to use all such feedback and information for any purpose without compensation to You, provided that Novell shall not publicly reference Your name in connection therewith..."
