That is import _all_ the packages from all distros to openSUSE project. So if any issues should arise Novell will not be responsible anyway.
I wish it would be so easy to waive off any legal liability :)
At best Novell can argue with 'un-knowledge' of data imported and having to remove them as soon as informed by 3rd parties, but that is already moot and would certainly not work if those packages are imported in a space where only Novell has rights to write. And giving external parties write permission solely to circumvent this does not sound very legal-fool-proof.
So now every mirror of Ubuntu is also liable for some unknown, yet-to-be-discovered and yet-to-be-proven break of law? Guys, come on
Guilty for treason, yeah :-) I wonder how UB was even allowed onto ftp5.gwdg.de... For real, you don't know all the laws of the world, let alone the lawsuit trolls. Remember content industry wanting to blame search engines because they index questionable warez and torrent sites?
