Obviously openSuSE is more than a beta of Novell's SuSE, but it does play a role in advancing Novell's ambitions.
And because Novell's collaboration with Microsoft does defame Linux developers and GNU/Linux users by branding them as software thieves and pirates, there really is no way to promote openSuSE without aiding an illegal software monopolist and its unscrupulous collaborator, Novell.
It is a shame that the SuSE name is thus tainted, and a greater shame that openSuSE cannot succeed without also helping Novell and Microsoft gain market and mindshare in what ought to be a software libre environment.
But, that is the reality of the situation, no matter how much the open SuSE development community might be in denial.
I refuse to use openSuSE and I urge others to do the same until the Novell-Microsoft deal is ended.
