As pointed out in my email and Pascal's email, RedHat's attitude towards a CentOS clone seems to differ from Novell's attitude towards a proposed openSLES.
This looks like a case where different people may have different intelligence¹. I certainly am seeing most strong, numerous and unambiguous indications to the contrary.
Just to get that straight: are you implying that RedHat isn't in favor of CentOS as in they would like to see it die sooner than later? Or do you mean that Novells (or whoever is responsible now for SLE) attitude changed so an openSLE might be an option?
Novell doesn't seem to be keen on an openSLES, at least that's the opinion that has been mentioned on various mailing lists in the past.
This is correct.
Whether that's an official opinion, I don't know. I also don't know who was in touch with Novell management or whoever is responsible for answering questions regarding a free SLES clone.
Companies as such usually do not issue official comments on questions like this. (Any official statement from Red Hat?)
As for individuals, happy to talk; I just arrived on vacation so you may not see a lot from my side the next two, three weeks. ;-)
