Arron,

First of all SUSE doing a lot for the community. Look at SUSE Studio,
KIWI can be downloaded and used by any free of charged to build their
own service like SUSE Studio and Open Build Services. SUSE has reached
out at every openSUSE Con to other distro to come join and build an
open community. We don't look at ourselves as a distro any more, but a
project work towards the goal of the linux community.

What amazes me about your comment, where are the fact. I didn't see
any where  that it an editorial.

Well Novell actually stopped requiring code attribution for their Free
Software projects, unlike Ubuntu who even tries to legitimize it with
their evil 'project Harmony'. Novell contributes, Canonical does not.
If you work on a Novell project, you keep the code - Canonical wants
to own your ass. Novell allows openSUSE to be independent and even
supports it; canonical blocked a project to create a foundation behind
Ubuntu.
