The way the Board has acted means that any supporter of the FSF's position can point to openSUSE as a sympathetic potential ally, who has not taken a hard stance against their action.
Conversely, any who feels the FSF's position is abhorrant can point to openSUSE's temporary ("for the time being") suspension of sponsorship and promise of a proposal from yourself and Neal as a positive step.
In short, the Board's stance is not to have a stance.
Or to have the stance as stated. Just because you don't like it the stance is still there. And just because it's not loud or infuriating it still is a statement. Plus there was action taken (which you did not mention for whatever reason). What any of the (more or less) involved groups gather from it to undergird their positions is neither in the board's hands nor do I personally care. vinz.
