Now that you've had your say, the rest of us can just shut up?
I have stated facts.
It's helpful to remember Suse's valuation was in excess of 8 billion when MicroFocus acquired the smoking ruin of Attachmate. Now it's down to 2.8B.
MF took a bath.
I suspect that was always the plan. Somebody's plan.
In any event, Suse doesn't stand much of a chance of exiting this new arrangement at all. What other notable companies have ever "existed" this EQT salvage yard?
You are spreading FUD.
Again please, this has nothing to do with the project, how the distribution works or technical problems surrounding any of the openSUSE infrastructure. Thus this topic should be on the offtopic list. Not here.
Thanks, Robert
Not only is your nonsense FUD, it's grossly factually incorrect Micro Focus bought all of the Attachmate Group (including Novell, Attachmate, SUSE, and NetIQ) for $1.2billion in 2014 The details of the deal valued the whole business (Micro Focus PLUS the Attachmate group) at $2.35billion https://www.ft.com/content/441b350e-3cf9-11e4-a2ab-00144feabdc0 The new deal values SUSE, alone, without Micro Focus, Attachmate, Novell, NetIQ and everything else Micro Focus has acquired since then, at $2.5billion Or to put it more bluntly, SUSE alone today is worth more money than the whole of Micro Focus and all of it's acquisitions in 2014. Don't spout nonsense, or at least if you are going to do so, follow Roberts advice and take it to the offtopic list where I won't read it.
