Also, what's the state of the Linux kernel that openSUSE uses? Recently Debian, changed that and will put on its version 6.0 "Squeeze" a completely free Linux Kernel, blobs not included [2]. Could openSUSE do the same thing?
I'm pretty sure the openSUSE kernel is 100% GPL possibly even including blobs. ie. No closed source binary blobs are in the standard openSUSE kernel to my understanding. If you need to add a non-GPL module or a proprietary blob, then you have to look to non-official repos like Packman, etc. fyi: Greg KH is a major decision maker about what's in the official openSUSE kernel and he is pretty adamant about it staying pure GPL.
