Unfortunately its a fair bit more complex then that, currently openSUSE
doesn't have any form of legal entity currently everything is handled by
and through SUSE. Setting one up that meets all the various legal
regulations and is sustainable also isn't as simple as it seems at face
value. But if other people would like to help working on a proposal to
put to SUSE i'd be happy to help, currently with the amount of spare
time I have I can't drive this on my own.
