SUSE would lose significant community visibility.
I confess I am very aligned with the position of Lars, but I also understand the legal problems it can arise by keeping SUSE in the name.
I will try to propose something in the middle:
It seems that the Foundation is happening. Let’s choose a name that will fit fine in a Linux distro, but as a foundation behind openSUSE Linux. Then, with the Foundation established and with all trustees or whatever they will be called, it can officially approach SUSE to try to make an arrangement about the use of the name / trademark openSUSE. Do you think this is possible? Because, after this, it will be crystal clear what we will win and what we will loose.
Eh, this is project name, not distribution name discussion. Distributions are already called Tumbleweed and Leap, and openSUSE is used with those just as a discriminator, because both Leap and Tumbleweed are very generic on their own and even then, I tried very hard to limit the amount of times we do mention openSUSE throughout the branding. Anyway, openSUSE Linux does not exist since 13.2, so 2014/2015, and it's not coming back...
