The document wasdiscussed on this list a couple of years ago, you can read 
some background about it at:
http://zonker.opensuse.org/2008/11/26/opensuse-sports-a-new-license-ding-dong-
the-eulas-dead/

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,
