We really tried to use a generic, easy to understand document that is as open
as the software we distribute ;). If you have specific concerns, please raise
them.
I heard no objection to the changes I proposed - so let's move forward with
them, while we can continue discussing specific concerns for those areas that
are in the document for more than 2 years now,

I like the changes, so if nobody sees any problems with them, I'll go
ahead and change the EULA.
I have attached a LibreOffice document with the proposal,
* I can't display it with the correct character encoding
Me nether (in OO.o on 11.3 - maybe it is better with LibreO on 11.4 ?)
* A large part is taken by openSUSE being under Utah/US laws and
limitations. I beg this is linked to Novell being american, when most
devs are from germany. I beg we can't avoid this...

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.?
