Maybe someone could ask my colleges (in Utah? from Novell?) if and in
what rate/in what amount they have considered the interests of the SUSE
GmbH and each of the the German/European programmers beside the
interests of the Novell Inc.?

Have they also estimated
the probability that and
possible amount of claim if
a (German?) judge/court rates German/European/Korean/... law applicable?

Have they thought about explicitly referring to "vorsätzlichem"
(approximately translated en: indented or knowingly) and "grob
fahrlässigem" (approximately translated en: grossly negligently)
behaving? I apprehend the hole clause for exclusions of liability would
be rated null and void without an explicit exception of any intently,
knowingly and grossly negligently caused damages.[1]

But please do not make me liable for rising that question ;-) [2].
