My personal view is: Yes, I will buy the Pro version (about $120 Australian). I still have the full set of 6.4, and will probably hand that over to one of my students as an encouragement award. I will probably then buy the upgrades for the next few releases. Why do I do this? I don't have a mission-critical setup, nor do I do a lot of hacking on new applications. I do this because it is my way of supporting the Open-Source movement. A few of the dollars I spend get used by SuSE to provide support for XFree etc, and that salves my conscience for me, when I am enjoying the work of so many others. Is it such an alien philosophy, that everyone gives a little willingly, so that all can enjoy the outcomes?
Amen! Many people just don't see past SuSE being a company I think. They forget that SuSE does a lot of open source development in the form of kernel patches, supporting new filesystems, advancing standards, Xfree86 development, KDE development, and so on.
