i m not a lawyer . but i think using suse is great . its amazingly cool and novell will never screwup such big time with its customers. if things had been so evil major contributors wud have stepped out after the announcement similar to the one after kde / gnome issue.
If Novel was free of any M$ proprietary stuff, it would not have to sign any payment deal with M$.
my take is novell is not evil . suse rocks and i will support it always :) the way i see this is ms has a subtle way of stepping into the oss market.
Many a times I wonder ( not connected to the Novel issue ) if rpm based distros are likely to be in troubled licensing waters as rpm is a Red Hat product. Debian based distros are anyway slimmer and use lesser resources.
How was linux packaged before rpm and debian?
