what extent do Novell have control on the OpenSuSE distribution? Is it also covered by the MS-Novell deal?
No, it is not covered. OpenSUSE is a community effort, very much like Fedora.
I think you are wrong here. AKAIK OpenSUSE is also covered by the patents part of the Novell-Microsoft deal. One may like that or not. And OpenSuSE is still a very Novell-driven distro there is not much the community can really have influence on. To call it a "community effort" or not very much depends on what you mean with having influence. Mostly anything you can do is report bugs and make suggestions in an open bugzilla but if Novell does not like it it won't be done. This is not what I understand to be a "community effort".
