I have no problem with that. But nowhere does it say that this is the 
idea. Yes, they offer jobs, and yet they release folks. Strange.. Your 
statement makes me think that the service is a pay as you go type of 
service. But I checked the wiki that is referenced on the site and 
there is nothing mentioned. So, you tell me. How will this "service" 
make money for Novell/SUSE?
