In which country is openSUSE registered as a not-for-profit organisation?
AFAIK work on this is on its way. The board is evaluating the options.
"Work on this is on its way"? Surely all this would have been done years ago?
Are you suggesting that the opensuse.org thing....falls short of legal requirements (in any country) to be termed a not-for-profit organisation (ie, .org)?
In any case, what is the legal basis (in whatever country) for having this "board"?
The bottom line is: if someone were to sue openSUSE for whatever reason, who would they be suing in a court of law? Novell or some nebulus entity called "the board" created by.....[aha, the "community", right!]?
I'm trying to understand what is the issue you're trying to discuss here. This is what I got (those are not real quotes, but I'm putting quote marks to show that it's not my opinion): 1) "the decision to support for-profit organizations by allowing them to make money on openSUSE is a decision that should be taken by Novell" 2) "the project is owned by Novell because it owns the trademark" 3) "the project is owned by Novell because Novell could be sued for something happening in openSUSE" 4) "the project is not owned by the community because there's no non-profit organization behind the project" Which one(s) is/are the topic(s) you're discussing?
