What's done is done, it can't be changed and it's not interesting any more. For the future however, I think we ought to amend the guiding principles to unequivocally state that openSUSE does not engage in or endorse any kind of policical activism.
So in your opinion, openSUSE should never, as a project, express an opinion about government use of open-source software, copyright issues, or patent law? All three of those things fall under "political activism", and all three of those things are perfectly appropriate political activism for an open-source project to engage in. -- Matt Barringer, Software Engineer SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, DE GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg)
