openSUSE really _do_ heavily encourage you to respin the distribution; for a couple of years now they have piped significant efforts into creating http://opensuse.org/KIWI which is pretty much the most configurable and extensible image creator around. For example, the KDE Four Live CD -- probably the most popular little respin of any distribution -- is openSUSE-based using KIWI.
As for debranding -- I really don't think anything of what they ask for is unreasonable; I mean, you really _don't_ want others passing off some other altered distribution as openSUSE.

Furthermore, it is actually trivially easily to debrand, as there's even a tool created for doing just that, called rembrand (see http://software.opensuse.org/search?q=rembrand ).
