Who says that?
Sources I will and cannot reveal. What was told to me confidebntially stays with me until I;m told I can share it. Don't blame the messenger for the message.
I'm also not sure who your source is, but the information they have given you does not reflect the information that was last given to the board from SUSE. Who to make it clear are not forcing us to rebrand the project. My personal opinion is that while SUSE is willing to work with us on rebranding and the majority of the community seems onboard with it given there are good reasons and we have help to mitigate the negatives now is probably the right time because the opinion of SUSE may very well change sometime in the future. But to answer Christian I personally believe its far more likely that SUSE would choose to resolve any trademark issue by tell us that we need to change our name then be willing to move the trademarks to a community foundation.
