Hi guys! Don't you think that Suse has a strong community worldwide? I believe that the community of Suse can make the fork happens, and sustain it. I see how much difficult it should be, but we can forget how our movement is organized. We are a movement of colaboration, and i believe we are able to do it with cooperation of each single community of users and developers in the world. Don't you think? Sorry my bad english!

I will be first to admit, I have no clue as to how much work and effort is involved in creating a fork of a distro.
Indeed, apart from being an entirely pointless exercise as the fork would be just as illegal to distribute as the original, it would also never happen.
Really? Never? Go look at how many linux distros have sprung up from Debian recently. Why are we running xorg instead of Xfree?
Forks happen all the time. A lot go nowhere, and were never intended to. Others come out of left field and smack you upside the head like Ubuntu.
