Well using Google to look up EQT is very helpful. Their website is reasonably informative about the company. You can find out for example that EQT established a new fund this year (2018) called EQT VIII.
For what it's worth -- I wasted some time trying to find out -- the "VIII" just means 8. It's EQT AB's fund number 8.
So no, SUSE isn't owned by EQT VIII -- it's owned by EQT, but the money came from EQT's fund № 8.
EQT is backed by the Wallenberg group:
Quite a powerful family in Sweden. They own lots of things. As well as large holdings in major banks. Their ties to Ivar Kreuger have always been interesting. I have always heard that the Wallenberg family helped the Swedish government by keeping the many large companies Kreuger owned from failing, and thus sending the Swedish economy into ruin. In the process, they became very powerful. Of course they did keep the companies from failing, which was a good thing. -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
