What's done is done, it can't be changed and it's not interesting any more. For the future however, I think we ought to amend the guiding principles to unequivocally state that openSUSE does not engage in or endorse any kind of policical activism.
So in your opinion, openSUSE should never, as a project, express an opinion about government use of open-source software, copyright issues, or patent law?
I think that is the best option, yes. I would really prefer to "leave the door open" for topics like those you've mentioned, but it has a great potential for too much discussion and unnecessary palaver, so instead I propose that we just say no.
All three of those things fall under "political activism", and all three of those things are perfectly appropriate political activism for an open-source project to engage in.
