Do you really think that threats like this or "my company will not use openSUSE anymore" add anything to the discussion or will change anything? If a client warns me that he will not buy my product if I implement a certain change, I would take that very seriously.
Sure thing. In the case of openSUSE it's more "use" than "buy", though. ;-)
Rrrright :-)
Although sles was also mentioned somewhere, you can modify the above: if a certain change of a free/gratis product would generate less users wanting it, I wold worry; unless I made that product for my own use, and the rest of the users were thus meaningless for me ;-)
Correct Carlos, openSuSE is the 'proving ground' for SLES/SLED in the sense that if people that try openSuSE are turned off by it because it gets a bad reputation, that easily translates into poor sales of the money products because a lot of the decision makers are also users of openSuSE in their private lives.
